Building On The Foundation Of The Future: The Millennial Church, Deborah Loyd

Faculty Publications - Portland Seminary

The purpose of this study is to help church leaders find ways of inspiring commitment to the church among the Millennial Generation. The Millennial Generation has been abandoning traditional churches at a rate of nearly 80 percent once they leave high school, many of them never to return. My goal was to discover solutions, new ways of thinking, and possibly a new design for faith community. For this I chose to research a community where Millennials thrive, The Bridge Church of Portland, Oregon. My chapters include: The Problem in chapter 1, Literary Reviews in chapter 2, The Context of Ministry …

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

The purpose of this project is to identify and construct a comprehensive strategy for children's evangelism and spiritual development in the South Korean church.

Tennessee Vans: A User-Based And Financially-Sustainable Approach To Develop Community Mobility Resources, Theodore J. Newsom, Danielle F. Meyers

Journal of Public Transportation

Although substantial resources have been devoted to the provision of the transportation infrastructure needed to support the movement of people, there still exist “mobility gaps,” especially among transportation disadvantaged groups of persons. An approach to fill these community mobility gaps is based on the experimental and evolving development and operations of Tennessee Vans over the past 20 years. The Tennessee Vans fleet has grown to 845 vehicles assigned to more than 300 community groups and organizations as part of its vehicle lease and purchase programs. Program participants include community and economic development agencies, faith-based organizations, commuter vanpools, youth-based organizations, workforce …

The Actor As Vessel: A Journey Towards Citizen Artistry, Joseph Carlson

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis is a personal journey examining the applications of Ritual Poetic Drama Within the African Continuum as developed by my mentor Dr. Tawnya Pettiford-Wates, to the profession of the dramatic artist whether they are actor, director, educator or producer, to the training of the dramatic artist as a means of empowering generative, self defined, self validating artists, and as a means of developing community specific dramas in the hopes of facilitating individual and personal revelation. Using the author’s personal experiences as evidence, it intends to affirm Ritual Poetic Drama Within the African Continuum as an emergent methodology for theatrical …

Online Church: A Biblical Community, Jefferson Todd Mullins

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Faith and spirituality widely exist in the virtual world of the Internet, spanning the continuum of expression from the traditional to the abstract. This religious presence online includes every religion, and included Christianity. Whether one believes the Christian church is capable of existing online has much to do with one's perspective of the Internet and one's definition of church. The author will address the use of the Internet to build Christian community and establish the church in a virtual environment. Arguments for and against the church online will answer the question, "Is church online truly the church?"

More specifically, the father has been given the privilege of being the catalyst of each family member's unique journey in becoming like Christ. This thesis will help parents understand why God has given them the enormous task of discipling their teenagers, what …
