Consultancy & Leadership for Mission & Ministry

Programme of study

Consultancy & Leadership for Mission & Ministry is a strand of the Theology & Religious Studies Postgraduate Programme and, in terms of entry requirements and assessment it is the same as Theology & Religious Studies - for more general information please click here. It is taught at the York Institute for Community Theology, York campus, in residential 'block' courses.

 

Modules include:

  • Consultancy and Praxis for Mission and Ministry
  • Organisational Studies for Mission and Ministry
  • Developing and Evaluating Praxis for Mission and Ministry
  • Mission Theology and Practice

 

Why study this strand?

There is a growing interest in processes that help people work together more effectively to enable the Church in its mission and ministry. People who work in church and community settings need consultants who understand mission and ministry, who identify with the particular features of their work and who can help them think theologically about it. This programme makes an important contribution to practical theology, enabling those who work in Church and community settings to develop their practice and to achieve their personal, professional and academic goals.

The programme is particularly suitable for those involved in the following roles:

  • local church ministry
  • mission consultants
  • regional ministerial roles
  • training and development roles
  • stewardship advisers
  • community work
  • youth work
  • those working in para-church agencies
  • senior church leaders

In addition we envisage the course being of help to those:

  • involved in supporting new forms of church
  • running work consultancy or appraisal schemes
  • undertaking evaluations of church and community work
  • running or supporting community, youth or regeneration projects.
