FE579A/B/C: PART-TIME EVANGELISM INTERNSHIP. Richard Peace.
DESCRIPTION:
- This course (offered pass/fail for 2 units) is designed to provide
an internship in a church, parachurch, or institutional setting that will
assist the student in developing competencies in the ministry of
evangelism.
RELEVANCE FOR MINISTRY:
- This course offers an introduction to the tasks and skills of
ministry as an evangelist whether as a full-time evangelist, parachurch
evangelist, Minister of Evangelism, or a pastor who is concerned about
developing evangelistic outreach in a congregation.
COURSE FORMAT:
- The course has three primary components: practical ministry,
supervision, and theological reflection. The student spends at least ten hours
each week for nine months (three academic quarters) in the church, parachurch,
or institutional setting involved in specific ministry assignments agreed upon
by the supervisor and student, and approved by the instructor and the Office of
Field Education. One hour each week is to be spent with the approved on-site
supervisor to discuss a) professional direction, evaluation, and overseeing of
the student's ministry; b) theological reflection and discussion of topics
related to ministry as identified by the student and supervisor; c) support and
prayer.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Completion of the Learning Agreement by the supervisor and the intern to be
turned in to the Office of Field Education by the end of the second week of the
quarter.
- Completion of final evaluations by the supervisor and student to be turned
in to the Office of Field Education by the end of the tenth week of EACH
quarter.
- Meeting during the first quarter (FE579A) with the Director of Field
Education, or other faculty member as selected, for a progress report on the
internship.
PREREGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS:
- Before the student may register for this course, several
steps must be completed, a process that may take up to a month, since the
student is responsible to make arrangements for an internship site. The first
step in the process is to read the preregistration materials available on the
internet at www.fuller.edu/sot/fielded or in the Office of Field
Education. After the student has submitted internship and supervisor
applications, he or she must schedule an enrollment interview with the Office
of Field Education. If the internship is approved, the student will then
receive a Course Approval Notification that must be submitted to the Academic
Advisor prior to registration.
PREREQUISITES:
- None.
RELATIONSHIP TO CURRICULUM:
- The three-quarter sequence meets the requirement for the MA in
Evangelism degree. It also meets the FE2 Field Education requirement for the
MDiv (MIN 7). This course is offered pass/fail for two units.
FINAL EXAMINATION:
- None. Evaluation is based on completion of the internship as
specified in the individual learning agreement and on completion of assignments
as listed above.
