44 DMS-816 Spiritual Formation Evangelism The seminar integrates evangelism with spiritual formation/discipleship and considers their interrelationship from biblical, philosophical, and theoretical perspectives. The seminar will explore spiritually directed pragmatic ideas for effective implementation in the local church. How to prepare non- Christians to seamlessly move into Christian spiritual formation/discipleship once they accept Christ will also be explored. Three hours. DMS-817 Developing Leadership Teams through Spiritual Retreats People change gradually, but the direction can be set quickly through a spiritual retreat. In this seminar, students will learn (and experience) how a long retreat can teach the rhythms of grace, engagement in ministry and disengagement from ministry, in order to form a pattern of restoration which can be repeated in the life of the individual and teams throughout the year. Students will combine this retreat with a post- retreat year-long plan reinforcing the learning conceptualized at the retreat so that it can become the reality of everyday ministry. Three hours. DMS-818 Uniting Worship &Work Working with God is the greatest challenge in ministry and leadership. In this seminar, students learn to unite worship and work for ministry in Jesus' wisdom, power and love. Students will explore biblical models of uniting work & worship for ministry and develop a sound theological basis for uniting work & worship. They will also develop the habits and practices for a deeper level of profound ministry and develop skills for ministering and equipping others for uniting work & worship in the ministry of their lives and work. Three hours. DMS-819 Spiritual Transformation of Churches and Organizations Spiritual transformation is required for people in churches and organizations to reflect God and glorify him in all of life. When this is not happening adequately, changes are required which support transformation. In this seminar, students will learn spiritual transformation processes that bless those involved rather than divide. This seminar focuses upon implementing a transformational process that both keeps and grows people, and minimizes disharmony during the change process. Three hours. DMS-890 Independent Study in Leadership in Community Spiritual Formation An independent study in Leadership in Community Spiritual Formation may be arranged with an appropriate professor with the approval of the DMin Director. Only two independent studies or transfers from another seminary may be included in the student's course work. Three hours.
