If you want to explore what God is calling you to, if you want to grow in your understanding of leadership, if your next challenge involves taking more responsibility in areas that are new to you, or if you are wanting a well-rounded comprehensive foundation in your life for your Christian service – The School of Ministry Development will help you move forward.
The School of Ministry Development (SoMD) creates an environment where individual growth takes place and you are also equipped for a future in different ministry settings. The school’s focus on pastoral, spiritual, logistical and visionary leadership will stretch each participant as they look to develop their ability to minister to others either within YWAM or in other ministry opportunities.
The course will include lectures, seminars, and discussions which will examine YWAM’s values and how they can be applied individually and in a community context; communication skills – from mic technique to exegesis and hermeneutics; working as a team, leading and being led; spiritual formation and personal development; authority, leadership and specialist areas tailored to the participants of each SoMD (topics like youth work, the Arts, cross-cultural skills and outreach planning).
Throughout the SoMD there will be opportunities to apply what is being learned by leading corporate activities of Holmsted Manor as well as preparing and presenting projects and assignments
The SOMD September 2016 is recommended for all those hoping to make a staff commitment to YWAM.
