Goal 1: Effective Practice Of Ministry Leadership

To lead is to excel that is why I want to enroll in graduate school especially in De La Salle University, a premier Catholic University in the country, to gain depth of understanding, teaching, and living Religious and Values Education. Maybe earning an undergraduate degree and having my license are something

1. Participants will learn a model of teaching cultural, religion, and spiritual competence that is mainly resident-led.

We do our best and most excellent work, and then offer it to him to go beyond our work and to change a child’s heart to have faith, to restore parents back into unity, and to bring peace to homes filled with strife. A great leader is a dependent leader.

From being involved in my church since I was a young girl, I have developed strong morals and beliefs. I understand right from wrong, and hold a strong belief in equal opportunity among all individuals. In any organization I am a member in, I have always upheld a leadership role. It is in my nature to be a selfless leader by hearing all opinions and making sure they are represented. I will utilize my strong morals and my keen leadership skills to show ethical leadership on campus.In addition, I

Students will analyze, investigate and demonstrate an understanding of how psychology, social conditioning, cultural influences and diverse environments impact spirituality and religion. The faculty will most likely have high academic degrees, significant ministry training and ample mission experience.

As an introduction to this paper, Gareth Weldon Icenogle’s text title, An Integrational Approach Biblical Foundation for Small Group Ministry will describe the observation that should take place in a small group ministry. Icenogle text in Chapter 13, The Observing Small Group Dynamics explains, “A spiritual and relational observation gets in touch with both the light side and dark side of a group’s reality. Observation is the art of watching understanding the interpersonal dynamics and patterns of human relationship. A community discipline has a particular importance in small group life. Each group has its own unique way of relating and behaving. Each time the same group gathers the different settings, moods, circumstance, and purpose will tend to lead the group to explore new patterns of relating.” Icenogle, then, explains, “the typical small group observational process follows a classic inductive study methodology: observation, interpretation, and application. Three stages in the observational process include: (1) noting what is happening in the group’s life together, (2) interpreting what this behavior means, and (3) making needed changes to improve the group’s life together. These three observational steps are recording, reflection, and re-action and it helps to see what God is doing in the group.”

In order to be effective, leaders must listen, communicate, act with openness and integrity, and collaborate. To be an effective Catholic leader, they still must do these things, but they must also have an explicit mission as a Catholic and see themselves as God sees them. Leaders have goals that must be accomplished. Catholic leaders have goals that are shaped and formed by how they live their faith. Being a leader does not simply mean telling people what to do, but guiding them, helping them to grow as people, and helping them to develop their God-given gifts. As a leader, the main focus should be upon the people that you are leading and not yourself. This takes practice and patience; trial and error. But helping others to grow allows a person to grow as well. Leadership should be the means to put out an impact throughout the world so that the love of God can descend upon the world and change it.

Furthermore, the observation will provide an opportunity to examine how counselors can work more effectively with clients who hold religious beliefs and how to connect with clients of faith. The activity will take place on

In the book, Churches, Cultures and Leadership, the co-author Mark Lau Branson mentions a quote by the theologian Pat Keifert. The quote claims that we do not learn anything from “experience” but that “one learns only from experience one reflects upon and articulates.” He proposes five questions that are relative to the aforementioned claim and are categorized as practical theology. Michael Dash and Christine Chapman in the book The Shape of Zion, point out that the work of effective pastors is based on the challenge to “give the work of congregational development back to people without abandoning them.” The paper will focus on answering the claim by a German pastor and theologian named Dietrich Bonhoeffer “the group is the womb

Again, these words may be stark, but when we weigh Peterson’s words against the American church today, we can see how much the light has faded from the days when the church was the beacon in the community, drawing people to it. Now, times have changed, and culture has shifted with it, bringing us to the point that our churches and their pastors and parishioners are disconnected from one another, and then either from the community, or the church.

Applications of skills are distributed appropriately to specific condition accordingly. Time spent in serving at my location and in special events reinforced knowledgeable tools required in dilemmas in ‘Ethical Code of Conduct.’ Serving in those areas had taught me what ministry really needs to offer in addition to sermons on Sunday morning. Effectively, my leadership abilities are not only about trying to build relationships with hurting church members and help bring them to Jesu, but directing them to the various resources. Following are sample of a few of my interventions during dilemma from counseling’s and teachings

The course will, primarily, focus on the faith formation, spiritual formation and educational needs of different age - group in the church. To come up with relevant and empowering formations, the course will serve as a venue to deliberate and discover the innate characteristics, issues, changes and influences in the life of each age - group that will enable the learners to come – up with relevant and enabling ministries to different age - groups.

End-of-year conference - The evaluator and the teacher meet to discuss all evidence collected to date. The teacher and evaluator will discuss the extent to which students met the SMART goals and how the teacher’s performance and practice focus contributed to student outcomes and professional growth. Following the conference, the evaluator assigns a summative rating and generates a summary report of the evaluation before the end of the school

As a result of my passion to plant churches, I have set forth to earn my ministry degree with honors, on the path to qualifying for ordination. Through this course I have not only identified strategies to best manage time and effort, but my strengths as well. Moving forward successfully will require the application of the concepts addressed in this course in the utilization of time and strength to accomplish these goals.

According to Yount, the church should have evaluations “in order to make sure what God called one to do, is in fact getting done” (449). Evaluation is a word that many people are acquainted with, and although it is a familiar word, it seems to take on a different meaning in various settings, for example, in business, schools, trades, and particularly in the church. There are a lot of evaluation practices in existence within our culture which do not translate as easily when it comes to the life of the congregation, and that’s a good thing because, they should not, in fact, there need to be a means to sort them out, for example, when business practices are imported in the process of evaluation, the impact can be a negative one, although the
