Ventures in Christian Discipleship: Register for February Course

The February course from the Ventures in Christian Discipleship program at McPherson College will be “The Gift of Multi-vocational Ministry” to be taught by Dana Cassell, part-time pastor of the Peace Covenant Church of the Brethren in Durham, North Carolina, and part-time manager for the Church of the Brethren’s “Part-Time Pastor; Full-Time Church” program.

In the Church of the Brethren, more than three-quarters of congregations are served by multi-vocational (part-time) pastors. That statistic might sound discouraging, but multi-vocational ministry is actually a gift and grace, for both ministers and congregations. This course will highlight current realities, encouraging possibilities, and theological roots of shared ministry for today.

The class will be held online Saturday, February 20 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Central Time. Continuing education credit is available. During the registration process, you will have the opportunity to pay for CEUs and give an optional donation to the Ventures program.

All previously held Ventures courses are available through the archive at www.mcpherson.edu/ventures/courses. They are a wealth of insight and information. These recordings are now eligible for CEU credit through the Brethren Academy for Ministerial Leadership. If you desire CEU’s, please work directly with the Academy to fulfill their requirements.

Registration for all courses and more information about Ventures in Christian Discipleship is available at www.mcpherson.edu/ventures.
