Cynthia Milsap Summer Focuses on personal formation for ministry by integrating work in the ministry setting with SCUPE's academic course load. Using a case study approach, it provides a forum for faith sharing, personal self-awareness of gifts and skills for ministry, theological reflection on experience, and peer group reflection on actual ministry in response to the Gospel. It is also the course vehicle for SCUPE's full-time summer internship field education/ministry credit. Credit varies by seminary. TBA Summer

Bethel Seminary This course goes beyond teaching students the fundamentals of a program planning process. It helps students gain insight about planning as a systematic process for ministry development. The course involves students analyzing and synthesizing information from the initial point of a spiritual discernment process to theological reflection. Specific program planning skills, protocols, and methodologies for church-based and/or agency-based ministry are learned. Students learn to understand their ministry context and the problem, design components and processes, and strategically appropriate resources to bring about positive change. Harden United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities This course includes an intentional, multicultural contextual component. In partnership with community leaders and student colleagues, we will participate in the life of local neighborhoods through contextual placements in social ministry settings. In addition to regular class meetings, students spend five hours per week in their contextual placements. Classes generally meet in the neighborhoods. Using critical socio-theologically narrative methods, we interrogate community issues and assets, ministerial/leadership practices, and ecclesiological considerations for social justice. Students will explore vocational directions while learning skills for ministerial discernment and resources for spiritual formation. Monday evenings
This course introduces participants to multidimensional factors that influence the quality of life among the poor. Students will examine the circumstances surrounding individual children, youth, and families for the purpose of formulating a pastoral response.
