Pastoral Leadership and Church Renewal in an Evolving Society
This focus group will evaluate and develop effective and innovative models for pastoral and church leadership in the post pandemic, evolving society. Students will have an opportunity to explore creative approaches to solving the most pressing issues brought to the forefront during an era of global transformation. In integrative and interdisciplinary settings, leaders will have the opportunity to strengthen their biblical and theological grounding for their leadership; develop prophetic approaches to pastoral preaching and public witness, and reimagine worship, congregational church membership, stewardship, and discipleship in a digital, postmodern church climate. Students will also be expected to explore the intersections of technology and media in developing their doctoral projects.
