CM 690 - The Practice of Informed Ministry

(3)

This course will enable the student to choose an area of ministry in which he or she feels further personal refinement is needed or in which new skills and competence are desired. In consultation with a supervising professor, the student will prepare a proposal which includes a statement of purpose and research plan. The research project will consist of research into the development of the ministry, observation/participation, and evaluation.

The Practice of Informed Ministry is an optional research project for all concentrations in the Master of Arts in Christian Ministries. An area of ministry will be researched by the student and the research included in the report. Based upon research and current practice, the area of ministry will be evaluated by the student with the results analyzed in the final section of the report. Students choosing to complete CM 690 will participate in a Departmental Conference with the project adviser and two representatives from the Graduate Christian Ministries Committee. Other faculty and graduate students will also be encouraged to attend.

Prior to the Conference, the student will submit three copies of the Research Project Report completed in CM 690.
During the Conference, the student will orally present the findings, perspectives, and reflections from the research.
After the Conference, the student will make any necessary corrections to the Research Project Report. Acceptance of this Research Project Report must be made by a committee comprised of the student’s project adviser and two representatives of the Graduate Christian Ministries faculty.
