Description
This seminar assists students in developing an understanding of church and congregations in relation to the mission of the triune God in and to all of creation. Resources from the fields of both ecclesiology and missiology are brought to bear on helping students formulate a working theology of the missional church within their congregation and context. The diverse literature from other fields of church renewal, church growth, and church effectiveness are critically evaluated from this developing understanding of the missional church. Students are introduced to and practice qualitative research.
