CMIN 290 - Cross-Cultural Ministry Experience

0-3 hours
A supervised, semester-long ministry experience of at least 50 hours per credit hour of ministry in a local church, an approved Parachurch organization, or other appropriate ministry setting. The experience is to take place in a ministry setting that is culturally divergent from the student’s own cultural background. A mentor will be assigned to the student who will assist the student in finding a specific ministry position, provide direction to the student, and offer appropriate assessment. Assessment will be based on the following criteria: the student’s preparedness for ministry; spiritual leadership; interpersonal skills; and developing awareness of, respect for, and flexibility in the face of cultural differences. Prerequisite(s): CMIN 116. Pass/Fail grading. UG
