Workshops – Practical Ministry Level

The practical ministry level is composed of workshops that offer development experiences for personal and family growth. The student will be given practical tried-and-true tools that can be reproduced as educational experiences in groups, churches, congregations, and neighborhoods. This level requires satisfactory completion of four of the following workshop descriptions. Each workshop has a “Facilitator Manual” and offers an exam over the workshop’s content. It also requires that the student teaches on a topic that will be supervised by a teaching member of EIRENE.
