125 TH 799 Thesis in Theology Students should register for TH 799 when they are ready to complete the thesis in a particular semester. Note that there are no course extensions for projects or theses. Prerequisite: TH 796 Theology Thesis Proposal. Three hours. TRAINING AND MENTORING Denver Seminary is committed to equipping leaders for kingdom service who are theologically astute, godly in character, and highly competent for mobilizing ministry to address the needs of the world. This vision requires intentional and purposeful partnerships between each student, the Seminary, and church/parachurch ministries as service and learning contexts. Denver Seminary's training and mentoring program asks students to determine their own learning needs in character formation and ministry skill development. In this way, a student's formation will be personalized to their past experiences and to their anticipated future ministry occupations. While this learning is personalized, it is not individualized—each student goes through this program under the relational group of other students. A mentoring director oversees, resources, and help shape this personalized, mentored formation experience. TM 500 Introduction to Mentored Formation Provides a theological framework for Christian mentored formation, which prepares students for the mentored formation process in subsequent training and mentoring courses. Students will integrate a biblical understanding of vocation, work, mission, formation, and spirituality into personal reflection assignments that will create a framework for the formation process while in seminary. This course is a prerequisite for all other TM-prefixed courses. Offered fall and spring semesters. One hour. TM 501 Mentored Formation I Utilizes group discussions and a learning plan blending directed and self-directed assignments to assist students in examining the continual unfolding of their sense of vocation. Students will utilize cognitive, experiential, reflective, and relational learning practices to resource their vocational formation with a view toward the development of life-long formation of whole- person.
