A Model Of Training For Outreach To Soldiers At Fort Lewis, Washington, Who Are Inactive Members Of The Churches Of Christ, Mark A. Henry

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Over one hundred and sixty soldiers at Fort Lewis identify themselves as members of the Churches of Christ. Less than twenty-five of these soldiers are involved in any religious activity. In order to reach out effectively to the remaining soldiers, the concerned church members who were interested in this ministry required training. The problem for this project/thesis was to design and implement a model of training for outreach to inactive members of the Churches of Christ at Fort Lewis, Washington.

The Nature And Authority Of Scripture : Historical Sources And Theological Engagement For Congregational Awareness And Reflection, Carson Reed

Doctor of Ministry Theses and Dissertations

For many Christians, biblical authority is rooted in the concept of inerrancy or in the historical veracity.

This project/thesis seeks to address this growing dilemma within the context of the Westlake Church of Christ …
