It’s hard to believe that I will be graduating with my Masters in Missional Theology in the spring from Biblical Seminary.
Five more classes to go… I’m almost done (I’ve been working on this for almost eight years!)
I’m excited as I lean into the fall. I’ll be taking a class with Dr. John Franke called Theology, Ethnicity and Gender. Should be a mind- and soul-stretching class. For as much as Franke has brought to the seminary, I’ve never had a class with him until now.
Biblical is also developing a few new programs – the one I’m most excited about is a Certificate in Missional Church Planting. I’m very excited that Biblical is unrolling this program this fall which combines both online and intensive week-long on-campus residency courses. Courses include Dynamics of Healthy Missional Community, The Church Planting Process, Funding the Vision, Leading the Missional Community, Understanding and Engaging Ministry Context and Coaching for Leadership and Cultural Development. These courses look good enough that I may actually audit a class or two…
If you’re a church planter – or thinking about planting a church – you should check out this program.

1I’ll be joining you in the theology, ethnicity, and gender class. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on worship in the summer class. I appreciated your focus on the benediction as needing increased importance.

2You will enjoy John Franke. I had 2 classes with him and both were delightful.
Glad I found your blog again, JR!
