You answered God’s call and came to seminary to prepare for ministry. How will that happen? Before you graduate you will read scores of books, sit through hundreds of hours of classes, write papers and pass exams. But that will not guarantee preparation for ministry. Your spiritual and vocational formation is the heart of preparation for ministry. A servant of God is formed through the integration of Being, Knowing, and Doing. It takes place in community, as God graciously works in and through each person. Formation calls for biblical/theological and theoretical foundations, the developing of ministry skills, the doing of …

The overall objectives of this course are that you will: • Grow in your ability to discover stories, write stories, and tell stories; • Draw upon the nature and dynamics of autobiography (oral history, journal) as a means of enhancing self-confidence and oral expression; • Appreciate and gain facility in using narrative imagination in the preaching process; • Grow in your awareness that while the kerygma of authentic preaching is centered on the Jesus Story, the storyteller is a person whose very humanity is essential to telling The Story.
