Training In Ministry Winter Opportunities Pastors & Leaders, Two significant distance-learning opportunities are available to you this winter, January 4-March 12 Mark Miller, Leader Self Care & Preston Yoder, Caring for the Congregation Training in Ministry classes are designed to equip people to more effectively minister in the home, church, neighborhood, and work environments. All classes are delivered online with state-of-the-art learning methods. To apply, go to https://rosedale.edu/tim-application/. Caring for the Congregation helps leaders develop fundamental skills of caring for people who are hurt and/or seeking guidance through life stages. Preston Yoder is a CMC with many years of experience as a pastor and congregational leader. With so much normal activity disrupted, The Deacon's Bench says, "From cleaning to social distancing, children's ministry to pastoral health, there are many considerations for the care and safety of your people." This course provides practical, relevant, and timely guidance and support to congregational leaders. Training in Ministry, or TiM, developed through a collaboration of Rosedale Bible College, CMC, and LMC. The program includes a total of 16 courses organized in five tracks. The complete program brochure is attached. Each 10-week course earns three credits and costs $900. Students who complete three courses in a track will be invited to attend a free course (3-credits) in a retreat format at Rosedale Bible College in August of 2021. As you consider this option for yourself, consider others in your congregation who might similarly benefit, pass on this information, and encourage their participation. |
