Missional Growth and Multiplication

Catalog description

This course is a comprehensive and integrative approach to organizational growth and diversification that participates in the missio Dei. Students will research, compare, and synthesize a strategic plan for expansion and diversification of their organization from varying multiplication models including (but not limited to): birthing a new organization (e.g. new church plants, non-profit start-ups), ministering to new or emerging cultures (e.g. multi-ethnic or multi-site approaches), and/or relocation to new geographies (e.g. satellite campuses or partnerships). The course includes biblical and theological foundation/boundaries for multiplication as well the tools required to grow and diversify an organization's missional impact. This course also allows the student to further customize their learning experience by choosing from three different tracks (Non-profit Leadership, Church Leadership, and Church Planting), which allows crosspollination of ideas and strategies from three closely related fields.
