Executive Ministerial Mentorship

3 credits

This experience is designed only for students in the MA in Ministerial Leadership program (MAML). Students are assigned an outside mentor in the area of ministerial leadership. Mentors are chosen in light of their recognized expertise in executive-level leadership and knowledge in the area of faith-based, nonprofit management. Students meet monthly with their mentor for 18 months to engage in critical conversations while checking in periodically with the program director. Students explore resources recommended by their mentors, write short theological reflections emerging from the conversations, and develop a learning portfolio that will serve as a guide for future ministerial leadership.
