Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rather than simply leading or following, why not consider stewarding? Associate pastors of all kinds--whether assigned to children, youth, worship, adult, or outreach--are often caught in the middle of complicated relationships in their congregations. It's an emotionally taxing and organizationally confusing position. In Associate Pastors, Michael Matthew Mauriello demonstrates how associate pastors can harness the ambiguity that accompanies their role in ways that can mutually benefit church members and other pastoral staff. The heart of Associate Pastors comes from personal interviews with twenty-five associate pastors in small-to-medium-sized churches who have served in pastoral ministry positions for more than ten years. Their shared experiences demonstrate the unique social and spiritual dynamics of the associate pastor role and suggest great promise for those willing to approach their calling with creativity and care. Specifically, when associate pastors facilitate learning within their congregations, they confer benefits on church leadership and laypeople alike. "Dr. Michael Mauriello's research is fueled by his love for God and the desire to see pastors flourish. Associate Pastors: Ministry from the Middle is a must-read for Christian leaders." --Deborah Colwill, associate professor of educational and leadership studies, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School "Dr. Michael Mauriello has written a thoughtful and well-researched guide for associate pastors who want to understand the dynamics and strategic advantages of their role. He not only understands the position, but he can help pastors serve effectively from the middle seat." --Lee Eclov, adjunct professor, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School; columnist, PreachingToday.com "This is a much-needed contribution to resources addressing the unique role of associate pastors--those who 'navigate complicated relationships as a pastoral practice.'" --Donald C. Guthrie, executive director, Center for Transformational Churches, Jeanette L. Hsieh Chair of Educational Leadership and director of the PhD (educational studies), Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to evaluate how well Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS) has prepared future pastors to lead their churches in the present-day elimate of controversy over corporate worship. The research qustion, "Has Dallas Theolgical Seminary given future pastors both the biblical/theological foundations and the practical tools to effectively deal with worship issues they will inevitably face in their local church ministries?" was explored; the working hypothesis was: "A majority of DTS graduates serving today in senior pastor roles have faced worship challenges in the churches they have served and feel that these experiences have exposed deficiencies as regards their seminary preparation for pastoral ministry; these deficiencies are both in the realm of a fundamental biblical and theological understanding of worship and in the area of developing skills for guiding its practices in the local church (particularily in guiding worship discussions and pastoring through worship changes)." To answer the research question and test the working hypothesis, a descriptive survey was conducted of DTS graduates from the years 2000-2007 who are serving in senior/head/lead/sole pastor roles in local churches. The survey assesed their views of corporate worship in the church and their experiences of various worship issues during their pastoral ministries, and gave them opportunity to assess the preparation they had received at Dallas Seminary in terms of how it prepared them to face the actual worship issues they ahd faced in ministry. The survey also asked them for recommendations for improving the seminary's program in this area as well as for suggestions as to how to make room in the curriculum for such improvements.

Download or read book Assessing Readiness for Ministry of Graduating Students at Dallas Theological Seminary from Selected Profiles of Ministry Personal Characteristics Criteria written by Terry L. Hebert and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis of this dissertation is that graduates of Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS) may not be prepared for ministry because the contemporary theological education offered by DTS fails to prepare students in some areas of personal characteristics. Contemporary theological education in Evangelical schools and seminaries like DTS forms students intellectually according to a Christian worldview rather than forming students spiritually according to the image of Christ. Modern theological educators teach about the Christian life and ministry rather than training ministry candidates to perform and experience the Christian life and ministry. This project assessed the readiness for ministry of DTS graduating students by using an instrument from the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) called Profiles of Ministry (PoM). DTS graduating students completed the PoM Casebook, and their internship field observers completed an online survey regarding them and their ministry performance. ATS calculated a personal profile report and an aggregate, organizational report. Examining ten of the report?s Personal Characteristics criteria?Fidelity to Tasks and Persons, Personal Responsibility, Acknowledgment of Limitations, Involvement in Caring, Perceptive Counseling, Mutual Family Commitment, Ministry Precedence over Family, Commitment Reflecting Religious Piety, Belief in a Provident God, and Christian Spirituality?this project sought to determine the readiness for ministry of DTS graduating students.The organizational profile revealed that DTS graduating students demonstrate five positive traits. First, students want to be involved in ministry. Second, students exhibit an entrepreneurial spirit toward ministry. Third, students value humility. Fourth, students are perceived as pious. Fifth, students have high regard for the family. The organizational profile also reveals, however, four deficits in a student?s readiness for ministry. First, although students are reputed to be entrepreneurial, they tend to hold personal convictions loosely, creating boundary issues. Second, although students express a high desire to help others, they underestimate the importance of empathizing with those who are suffering. Third, although students have high regard for the family and for ministry, they reveal a tension to keep family and ministry in balance. Fourth, although students are perceived as pious leaders of their communities, students tend to waver regarding their trust in God.
