This course equips those ministering within prison and community settings to research, plan, and administrate a ministry program that provides learning experiences to help offenders and ex-offenders encounter the person of God, the truths of His Word, the power of His Holy Spirit, and to transform their thinking and behaviour while developing basic life skills.
Objectives
- Determine both a biblically based theology of mission with the incarcerated and a vision and mission with your specific correctional ministry program that serve as personal foundations for theory and praxis.
- Create a ministry program that provides transformation, motivates key stakeholders, and limits problems and liability.
- Apply evidence-based practices to your ministry program development.
- Describe the unique characteristics and diversity issues of offenders and their implications for ministry program development and the creation of learning opportunities.

- Discuss the person and the work of the Holy Spirit in the process of teaching, learning, and spiritual formation.

Rhonda, United States (US)[What I liked best about the course was] the practical nature of the material. It is immediately useful to my situation.
Heinrich, United States (US)It teaches how to take the theoretical good intentions and made them practical. It is not easy but necessary. The pieces (readings and discussion questions and [optional activities]) fit together as puzzle pieces.
