IGNITING VIBRANT VENTURES (FTRS-8300)

(01/30/2023-05/19/2023)

Course Memo

This course is a hands-on experiential learning journey designed to encourage, empower, and equip participants for congregational ministry and organizational leadership through the lens of social entrepreneurship. For congregational ministry, the course examines aspects of church administration. For organizational leadership, the course examines small non-profit management techniques. This course is intended for both emerging and established leaders and will help them to design, plan, and implement social business models as they advance their congregational and/or organizational mission and vision. The course has aspects of a startup incubator/accelerator, equipping students with the tools and frameworks to enable the adaptive strategic planning necessary for leading ventures. It follows the Design Thinking course, amplifies the social justice venture that students have talked about in that course, and brings in elements of the Field Praxis course. The final project of this course will contribute to the SAIL capstone to fulfill the requirements for the MAST degree. For United Methodist students, this course fulfills the requirements for the Evangelism course. [FTRS-3400 Design Thinking For Social Change; Auditors Excluded]
