Dr. Stan Wood, Instructor

This class will explore God‘s mission for congregational leadership. Starting with the biblical record of God‘s mission in salvation history, we look at the rabbinic design Yeshua employed training the 12 for mission. Insights from Yeshua's leadership training will be applied to growing multi-generational communities of faith with robust faith sharing networks. The course will use case studies from missional church plants, mainstream, and Messianic Synagogues, and state of the art demographic analysis of congregational ministry contexts.
