PRMN 638 - Birthing & Growing Small Groups: Nurturing and Connecting Ministry Across Generations

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Practice of Ministry

Description:

Ministry is full of small groups but they are not the same. We need a variety of strategies and a variety of leadership styles to effectively nurture groups. We will explore questions like: What theoretical knowledge and strategies inform our decisions in leading groups? What strategies and behaviors can be learned (or unlearned) to increase my "toolbox" for effectively leading a group? In what ways does the type of group or the purpose of the group inform my strategy? Does it make a difference if the group is volunteers or staff? What are effective strategies with different generations as well as effective strategies that bridge generations? These are some of the questions that will be explored in this course.
