STML 5140 - Companions in Leadership

1 credit hour
Formerly - STML 514

Reflecting on pastoral experience, this experiential course integrates concepts from previous course work with strategies for leading congregations with balance, health, and perspective. In the context of small peer groups each participant develops the ability to: create a trust-based faith community, drawing the best out of each person and developing mentoring skills; sharpen skills in observation, assessment and feedback; gain a greater sense of personal strengths and limits; and broaden an understanding of pastoral leadership by inquiring into contemporary issues and questions. Majors only.
