Shepherding God’s People 2019
 

This class introduces students to the important task of pastoral care and counseling in the context of the local church. Caring for people is a central part of the role of those who enter the ranks of ordained ministry. Jesus’ words to Peter, “Take care of my sheep” (John 21:16), apply to all who are called to shepherd or pastor.

The class will help students understand and practice the ways of Christian “soul care” in a manner that is comprehensively faithful to the biblical faith and human existence. This “soul care” is not the exclusive responsibility of the ordained clergy, but includes the laity in the ministry of the whole church.

This year’s speaker will be Rev. Kim Davis, Children’s Pastor and ordained minister at CS Trinity Nazarene Church. Nikki Nielsen, Worship Pastor at The Crossing Church in Westminster, will be leading us in worship. Come with us as we head to the mountains in order to seek God and connect with one another. We will be gathering from all over Colorado to worship and connect as women in Christ. Join us as we grow deeper in our love for God and for one another by learning together what it means when God calls us to the beauty of the here and now.
