DMM - MENTORING COURSES DMM-801 Effective Mentoring Relationships (1 hr; required for all students) This one-year of mentoring begins with an 8-week online course designed to assist students and their mentors in developing a biblical and theological framework for personal development in a mentored relationship. Through the mentored ministry experience the student learns how to grow in the context of community as well as develop a strategy for mentoring others. Each of the following has a mentored option explained in the syllabus. DMR-802 Ministry Evaluation Learning Contract (Mentored Option) (1 hr; required for all concentrations in Leadership track) More student directed but includes an evaluation of the student's ministry through the eyes of the people they serve with mentors sharing in the evaluation. It is designed to help surface issues to be addressed, one of which might become the basis for a project and thesis. Prerequisite to DMR-806. DMR-806 Thinking Systems in Ministry Learning Contract (Mentored Option) (1 hr; required for all concentrations in Leadership track) To understand a church or organization it is necessary to see it as a system rather than a collection of individuals. With their mentors, students will learn to "think systems" in order to discover the systemic structures at work within their church or organization, understand the complex interactions that occur among elements of the system, and identify possible points of intervention to bring change.
