Theology of Pastoral Leadership (TPL)

This course begins a Fall/Winter internship-related sequence that concludes with STMA 555. Students focus on: leadership styles and metaphors; theologies of the local church; skills for effecting change and nurturing staff and volunteers; and processes for social analysis within congregational settings. The student participates in classroom activity, shared theological reflection, and a leadership internship. Entrance into the Fall course of the sequence requires that students: attend an orientation the previous Spring, select a field placement, identify an on-site supervisor, define a job description, and set goals and objectives.
