Book Lay Pastor Training Manual   Teacher Edition

Download or read book Lay Pastor Training Manual Teacher Edition written by Frank Damazio and published by . This book was released on 1997-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lay Pastor Training Manual is the second portion of a two-phase plan for equipping and training leaders within the context of the local church. With today's rapidly growing church, leadership training is critical to the establishment and growth of a healthy local church. The Timothy Training Program (phase one) is designed for equipping potential leaders, and the Lay Pastor Training Manual takes these potential leaders one step further by establishing and training them for a lay pastor role. A lay pastor is one who has the pastoral gift, who is trained and released to do the work of pastoring while still being employed in full-time secular work, and who is not necessarily ordained as an elder The Lay Pastor Training Manual is specifically written with the growing church in mind. Designed to train lay pastors to help alleviate the heavy ministry load of elders and senior pastors, this course teaches lay people how to do the harvesting and pastoring at a relational level within the local church

Book Moving out from the Pew  Equipping the Saints for the Work of Ministry

Download or read book Moving out from the Pew Equipping the Saints for the Work of Ministry written by Rev. Dr. Connie Welch and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a transformational training course designed to give church leaders of all educational levels the basic biblical interpretation, homiletical, public speaking, and leadership skills necessary to fulfill their role as lay leaders. It provides all of the resources necessary to facilitate class discussions in each of the four learning modules, including recommendations for suggested textbooks, power point presentations, and other class room materials to be distributed to the students as study guides. A church can only go as far as its leaders. When the leadership as a whole grows spiritually, the church also grows spiritually. We grow in the Lord as we learn how to accurately handle the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15; NASB). Focused bible study, enhanced with the proper biblical interpretation skills, provides a much deeper and more thorough understanding of Gods word and thus strengthens our relationship with Him. It also provides the foundation for our theological development and biblical worldview.

Book Equipping Laypeople for Transformational Workplace Ministry

Download or read book Equipping Laypeople for Transformational Workplace Ministry written by Caroloretta Tucker and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equipping Laypeople Many Christians fail to see their places of work as their most logical mission field, missing opportunities for both workplace ministry and evangelism. Those who do see their places of work as a mission field are making a tremendous difference where they work. Given the amount of hours typically spent working, the personal trials and dysfunctions many carry with them to work, as well as the poor working conditions of many American workers, there is a tremendous need for Christians to transform their places of work. Even though many pastors tell their church members to go out and reach people, they are not providing them with the necessary training to reach those in the workplace. There is a great need for laypeople to be built up, to be creative, and to live out their faith at work. Pastors have been given the ultimate privilege of equipping God's people for service. Churches must be intentional about providing laypersons with the theological tools and practical information necessary to understand and effectively exercise workplace ministry. We must begin by accepting that all God's people are placed in workplace ministry, and seek to know God's original plan for work, as well as how to integrate work and faith. In EQUIPPING LAYPEOPLE FOR TRANSFORMATIONAL WORKPLACE MINISTRY, Caroloretta Tucker offers her Doctorate's thesis research results to pastors and churches as a firm foundation for this effort.

Book Christ in the Classroom

Download or read book Christ in the Classroom written by Jared Dees and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the goal of catechesis is to cultivate an encounter with Christ, why do religious educators spend so much time focused almost exclusively on ideas and not experiences? The reason is that many have never been shown a method that inspires the heart while also instructing the mind. Jared Dees, creator of the popular website The Religion Teacher, shows how applying the steps of lectio divina to teaching can reorient religious education toward encountering the person of Christ rather than merely sharing information about him. In Christ in the Classroom, Catholic author and speaker Jared Dees applies the five steps of lectio divina—reading/learning, meditation, prayer, contemplation, and action—to the ministry of catechesis. He offers teachers and catechists a practical framework for preparing lessons that broaden the focus of teaching from mostly intellectual learning to also encountering Christ in prayer, reflection, and action. Using this method, students and catechists come to know intimately the person of Christ at the same time that they are learning the tenets and traditions of the Church. Dees shares stories of success and failure from his own teaching experience and he offers dozens of field-tested strategies, tactics, and teaching methods to effectively integrate the steps of lectio divina into the classroom or other catechetical setting. Outfitted with these tools, both experienced and new religious educators will feel confident in their ability to teach effectively and lead their students to a life-changing encounter with Jesus.

Book Developing  Training  and Equipping Lay Ministers to Serve in Leadership Roles at Small African American Churches

Download or read book Developing Training and Equipping Lay Ministers to Serve in Leadership Roles at Small African American Churches written by Angelia V. Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis project explores the validity of a ministry training manual for developing, training, and equipping lay ministers at Fredericksburg Missionary Baptist Church. It assumes that if church members have leadership tools, they will use them to become more effective leaders. However, lay ministers often serve in ministry leadership roles without formal training. They should be trained and equipped by church leaders to lead effectively. Therefore, the question that this thesis project ask is, "Will a development and implementation of a leadership training manual equip lay ministers?" The Scripture is the primary literature resource for God’s provision in developing ministry leaders. It is the foundation for growth and creating tools for leadership. Lay ministers of Fredericksburg Missionary Baptist Church were the target group for this study. To validate the assessments, each participant answered interview questions, surveys, and post-seminary questions. Training and equipping lay ministers will enable them to be effective leaders in their roles, especially in small African American Churches, where a senior pastor typically oversees. The five ministry tools that can develop, train, and equip lay ministers are: understanding the call to ministry; second, hands-on training; third, conflict resolution; fourth, decision making; fifth, personal accountability. This research thesis project provides a ministry training manual for this church and can be utilized by other churches to develop lay ministers.
