This course introduces students to the seminal subject of “being.” Students examine God as “Being,”
explore human “being” and its implications, and examine ideal human “being” as found in the
resurrected Christ. Students also analyze the remarkable journey inward and outward in personal
development, including the role of courage, decision making, and interaction with the inward and
outward world of the individual.

All effective ministry begins with vision. Nothing is more foundational. In this course, students explore both the ethereal and the practical aspects of vision—what it is, how it comes, and its primacy of place in effective ministry. The course also includes discussion of the contrasts and interplay between visionary and managerial ministry. Biblical as well as historical models are researched, with emphasis on applicability to the individual.
