Yesterday I started the second class in my new Master's Program. So far so good! The focus of this class is Pastoral Ministry. We're zooming out and taking a bird's eye view at the local church. It's comprehensive (and just a bit overwhelming!)
The program is built around a systematic, principle based model for local church ministry. In other words, it isn't method specific. That was one of the selling points to me regarding this specific program. In fact, the makeup of our cohort is an extremely diverse collection of lead pastors from a large variety of communities. I'm one of the younger guys. The age range in our group ranges from 25 to just over 60.
The diversity has really energized class discussions and enabled me to soak up a tremendous amount of experience. Yesterday I listened for a few hours as seasoned pastors shared lessons they've learned in ministry.
It's priceless. Expensive:) But priceless!
