Relationships in MinistryThis course will instruct the student in practical and biblical ways to “Live peaceably with all men.” (Romans 12:18) Steps will be given to equip saints to fulfill the Lord’s joy “That ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind...” (Philippians 2:2) in ministry. Furthermore, the student will be able to understand in a relational way what it means to have the mind of Christ. In the trenches of ministry, interpersonal relationships with fellow laborers are imperative. This class will give principles of communication, correction, and compassion that will make a difference in their calling. If teamwork makes the dream work, this class is the “how to” on teamwork.
