BIB 9030 - Multi-Ethnic/ Multi-Cultural Ministry

Credits: 3

In this course you will deepen your ethnic and cultural sensitivity, as well as your ministry competence, for effective work in diverse ministry situations. You will give particular attention to the formation and growth of multiethnic and multicultural ministry teams and the building of Christian communities that celebrate unity in diversity. You will examine Scripture as the basis for your discussion. You will give emphasis to practical implications for church ministry, exploring both the challenges faced in diverse congregations and the tremendous potential of modeling the kingdom of God. You will also explore elements that hinder and/or prevent ethnic and cultural integration. The final project is an integrative paper in which you will reflect on the principles learned with emphasis given to application in your current context.
