MIN 514 Contemporary Issues in Church & Culture
This course examines the relationship between the church and contemporary culture and how ministry leaders lead their communities through current social issues. Particular attention is given to how leaders form, communicate, and implement their response to contemporary issues facing their communities. The church’s witness and service to its surrounding community are presented as part of its essential nature and mission. Biblical, theological, and ethical foundations are synthesized into a coherent strategic response by which the minister effectively leads.
