Jesus' Model of Ministry is framed in the gospels making practical application for the implementation of Jesus Christ’ life within the 21st Century church. The course continues through the book of Acts and the development of the church in Ephesus. Students will be challenged to think strategically in approaching the development of church ministry as each student is trained to develop and implement incarnational, practical, mission‐driven, and biblically based systems for the development of a “Disciples making Disciples” ministry. Additionally, students will examine the need for effective exegesis including exegeting oneself and exegeting the culture through demographic research, participant observation, and community observation.
