Are you ready to take your next step in your ministry Journey? Do you have a heart for making a spiritual difference? Would you like to sharpen your tools for ministry?
The Journey, a centre for graduate-level studies for those in Christian leadership, is now fully embraced by ACTS Seminaries, the Graduate School of Theological Studies of Trinity Western University.
The Journey offers full-credit graduate-level courses in Edmonton, Alberta. All courses feature a brief (usually 3-day) face-to-face instructional segment with online assignments. Our experienced instructors combine scholarship with hands-on-ministry training.
When travelling, we often need to stop, stretch, take stock, and perhaps check our map or GPS. So in the spiritual journey, it is good to review the directions and renew our sense of just where we are going and why. The Journey exists to help you to do that. It is for those considering vocational ministry as well as for those already in ministry, who desire to upgrade their skills for even greater effectiveness.
Our goal has been to bring ACTS Seminaries to Alberta. Now, with expanded course offerings, we are well on the way of offering to you the option of completing a graduate degree from ACTS Seminaries without relocating.
Tuition at The Journey is now $320 per credit hour; the audit rate is $140. per credit hour; no written assignments are required of audit students.
| CLD 532 - Christian Leaders and Power, Change and Conflict (3 credit hours) | ||
Instructor: Dr. Randy Wollf Location: Ellerslie Road Baptist, 10603 Ellerslie Rd. Edmonton Date: January 20-21, 2012 Understanding dynamics related to power, change, and conflict is crucial for the Christian leader. Power relationships and the need for change exist in all organizations. Change often upsets delicate power balances and can result in conflict. As organizations attempt to respond to change, leaders must understand the role of power in the change process and how to mobilize the power of leadership in a healthy and godly manner. Conflict can arise for many reasons but often accompanies the transitions that result from change. Few interpersonal exchanges have as much catalytic potential for good as resolved conflict. By addressing and resolving their conflicts, individuals and groups of people develop an internal rigor, enhance mutual understanding, sharpen their mandates and deal proactively with important issues in their lives and societies.
