Get Guided WRSP 846 Growth Development and Spiritual Formation

Course Description

An in-depth look at individual spiritual growth, development, and spiritual formation through private worship and the pursuit of Biblical spirituality. Particular application is made to the connection between a personal worship life and public worship leadership.

Rationale

The spiritual formation and growth of those leading worship has a direct influence on the worship life and spiritual vitality of local congregations. In fact, the songs a church sings impact and shape the congregation’s corporate theology and passion for worship. This course is designed as an in‑depth exploration of the processes and goals of spiritual formation in the life of the worship pastor. Specific focus is given to developing an intimate relationship with God and a Christ‑like character. In addition, the student will examine strategies for facilitating spiritual renewal and consistent discipleship in others.

Measurable Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

1. Articulate the theological basis for spiritual formation in the life of the worship pastor.
2. Identify critical individual leadership skills, personality characteristics, and spiritual gifts.
3. Develop a pragmatic and comprehensive growth strategy for ongoing spiritual formation.
