MM580/MM680/MK780: Foundation of Ministry for Emerging
Generations in Korean Context (4 Units: 160 hours). Chap Clark & Jinna Jin
DESCRIPTION:
This course provides the foundational concepts
and best practices to prepare the student for ministry to emerging generation
in both a church and non-church setting in Korean context. The course will
provide a basic understanding of adolescent development, contemporary culture,
and historical and contextual models of youth ministry thinking and practice.
The course is designed to help the student to think and respond theologically
to the needs and expectations of the young and their families in a church or
organization, and provides practical tools enabling the student to design a
theologically sound ministry program for emerging generation suitable in any
context.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Having successfully completed this
course, students will have demonstrated the ability (1) to articulate an
understanding of cultural trends that influence and affect adolescents and
their families in Korean context; (2) to develop a comprehensive theology and
philosophy of youth ministry that encourages a ministry praxis where God's
adoption toward those who are in the midst of developmental transition can be
experienced in a local church body; (3) to understand the different ministry
needs of early, middle, and emerging adults; and (4) to create
multi-generational relational programs and curriculum that enable evangelism
and Christian nurture within a theologically driven framework of adoptive
congregational community.
COURSE FORMAT: This class meets ______ for a total of 40
