1 Program Design for the Internship- Based Family Ministry Program Youth ministry is both an ancient and modern phenomenon, where strong Biblical patterns regularly collide with changing cultural and ministry models. Current studies show shocking attrition in post- graduation church attendance and measurable decreases in key spiritual indicators in young people. Yet the youth ministry "industry" that includes local churches, growing para- church organizations, residential Christian camps, spiritually- oriented adventure programs and missions trip agencies continues to press into the challenge of reaching youth for the Kingdom. The platforms for engaging youth ministry are diverse and plentiful. This program is designed to prepare students to enter the fray, armed with a passion to make disciples and the tools to engage that effort in a local church or para- church ministry organization. Purpose. The purpose of PER s Family Ministry program is to provide a high quality educational experience for undergraduate students interested in pursuing a career in professional family ministry in the local church or in a para- church ministry organization. Vision. Our vision is to prepare men and women who are passionate about making disciples and who are empowered to serve with excellence in family ministry, whether in the local church or in a para- church organization. Targeted Students. Experience based educational offerings delivered by PER are designed for maximizing the useable learning of students. It is understood however that not all students are in a position to take advantage of an approach that involves immersion in an internship environment. While the family ministry program is designed with considerable flexibility, the design is primarily focused on two groups of students. College students looking to pursue their education in the context of an internship environment being mentored by accomplished professionals. Individuals already involved in family ministry roles desiring to enhance their effectiveness through mentored study directly related to their organizational environment. Program Description. The family ministry program is designed to provide up to 36 credit hours of undergraduate coursework within the context of an internship environment. The program is designed with maximum flexibility to accommodate the specific needs of individual students and with the necessary structure to assure that all coursework will fit the course design standards of all participating colleges and their accrediting agencies. Students who enroll for the entire program will engage in intense hands on examination of family ministry and of theory and practice pertaining to a range of issues that are fundamental to the successful operation of family ministry organizations and local church family ministries. For most students, optimal interaction with this program of study happens within a focused internship equivalent in length to two academic semesters. This laboratory setting allows students to learn the concepts and skills of ministering to adolescents in the context of a functioning family ministry environment mentored by people who are doing what the students are learning to do. Program Goals. Upon completion of the family ministry program interns should be equipped to minister with effectiveness within a family ministry environment. Success will be demonstrated in the exercise of the following competencies: 1. Actively shepherd individuals toward God, helping them grow in faith and mobilizing them as productive Christ- followers. 2. Create programming that is driven by a clear sense of mission and purpose. 3. Apply group and team theory for recruiting, developing, mobilizing and mending teams for maximum effectiveness. 4. Understand structural models for governance of non- profit organizations and how they shape and empower practical ministry. 5. Demonstrate a working knowledge of financial stewardship, including basic budgetary principles and procedures for non- profit organizations. 6. Apply a working knowledge of legal issues and loss control strategies to the delivery of ministry organizations and their programming. 7. Establish a Biblical foundational philosophy for ministering to youth and develop basic skills and competencies for effective youth ministry. 8. Understand modern youth culture and its impact on adolescents and their worldviews. 9. Establish a comprehensive strategy for effective communication in youth ministry. 10. Effectively train teens to influence their world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Program Strategy. The family ministry program is delivered in an internship environment that employs the following key strategy components: Experiential learning. PER provides education in the context of real experiences. This is not simply a set of experiences in which the student is expected to extract practical learning but rather a purposeful blending of theory and practice in which theory informs the experience and the experience fuels further inquiry. Integrative learning. Nothing can be fully understood in isolation from its context. All PER courses are designed to facilitate investigation of particular subjects in the context of their relationships to the total curriculum, other classes, and the student s professional PO Box 538, Factoryville, PA 18419, Ph: , Fx: Copyright 2012 Version 1.0 Updated 10/12

2 environment. Proactive learning. Every student is unique in his/her learning style, frame of reference, existing knowledge, and motivations. Students who take initiative for, and control over their own learning process gain most from their education. PER courses are designed not only to accommodate such initiative but to teach students proactive learning skills that will enhance life- long learning. Cooperative learning. The world in which learning must be applied is made up of people with widely varying perspectives, capabilities, and frames of reference. Key to successful leadership is the ability to value that diversity and to leverage the multiple perspectives and varied capabilities within a group to produce higher levels of learning. PER courses are designed to facilitate the acquisition of cooperative learning skills. Courses of Study Core Courses (15 credits) Dynamics of Discipleship (3 credits) The core of ministry leadership is the business of shepherding individuals toward God, helping them grow in their faith, and mobilizing them as productive parts of the body of Christ. This course is designed to introduce students to concepts of spiritual development, a biblical understanding of what it takes to be a shepherd, and approaches for growing people of various age groups through each stage of growth. Principles of Ministry Strategy (3 credits) This course is designed to introduce students to practical competencies and skills for the effective development and use of a wide range of programming as tools for accomplishing biblical ministry objectives. Developing Dynamic Teams (3 credits) Organizations are increasingly realizing the need for a team orientation yet, despite the rhetoric, there remain significant cultural impediments to team development and maintenance. This course leads students in an application of group and team theory for recruiting, developing, mobilizing, and mending teams of employees and volunteers for maximum effectiveness. Governance & Administration of Non- Profit Organizations (3 credits) This course will examine structural models for governance of non- profit organizations. It will also introduce students to principles and practices employed by boards and administrations for the management of such agencies. Key topics will include board structure, finance, publicity, program planning, strategic planning, and consultants. Financial Management of Non- Profit Organizations (3 credits) This course will introduce students to basic budgetary principles and procedures for not- for- profit agencies. Key topics will include budgeting, reporting, financing, cost analysis, fundraising, stewardship, and donor management. Risk Management of Non- Profit Organizations (3 credits) This course will introduce students to situational analysis of the legal systems impacting the delivery of recreation and leisure services. Emphasis will be placed on applied legal understanding and loss control strategies. Key topics will include insurance, release forms, record keeping, risk transference, signage, and supervision. Discipline- Specific Courses (15 credits) Family Ministry Philosophy (3 credits) Explore the values of establishing an integrated ministry strategy that extends from birth to adulthood while integrating the church and family together. This foundational course for family ministry philosophies will evaluate various models. The course will explore methods for transitioning from a youth, child, and adult departmental model to an essential family ministry model. Refining the Message (3 credits) Develop communication, curriculum, teaching, and preaching approaches that are age appropriate, relevant, and life changing. Reactivating Families (3 credits) Explore patterns for empowering and supporting the family as the primary discipler in the life of a child. An emphasis will be placed upon spiritual disciplines, rites of passage, and milestones. Students will be introduced to various family maps. Elevating Community (3 credits) Develop approaches that maximize the benefit of community, relationships, and mentors to a student s overall maturity and development. The course will examine approaches designed to provide multiple intergenerational mentors into each young person s life for maximum impact. Leveraging Volunteerism & Advocacy (3 credits) Explore how advocacy and volunteerism plays an important role in a young person s PO Box 538, Factoryville, PA 18419, Ph: , Fx: Copyright 2012 Version 1.0 Updated 10/12

3 spiritual development. Integrated models of youth ministry, strategic service, outreach, and advocacy will be explored. Best- practice management of volunteer principles will be explored for the purpose of increasing recruitment, retention, and organizational commitment. Cross- Discipline Electives (3 credits) Students will choose at least one experience- based course from alternative disciplines (i.e. urban ministry, missions, camping and recreation) to compliment and customize their learning experience in context. Curricular options. Students involved as interns in the family ministry program may take up to 36 credit hours of coursework. Students desiring to receive academic credit may do so through participating regionally accredited client institutions, toward various degree programs offered by those institutions. Credit may also be transferred into other programs in other institutions. Advisement is available to help students determine how many credits and which courses will transfer into their particular program of study. Course structure. The courses of study offered in the family ministry program are designed to be pieces of a whole. Each of the course designs is consistent, making it possible to integrate all of the courses into one pursuit. All assignments fit together so that coursework from several or all of the courses may be merged into one large product that involves the student in learning related to each course. Such integration produces higher levels of learning with greater efficiency. Instructional personnel. A national faculty facilitates all coursework, guiding students theoretical inquiry, coaching their integration of theory with practice, and providing both formative and summative evaluation. Faculty members are accomplished professionals with academic credentials appropriate to the level and subject area of the courses that they facilitate, with expertise and experience in the particulars of their courses, and certified by PER as proficient in the use of experience based instructional methodologies. On site mentors are individuals with professional skills, who can guide students through the experiential aspects of their study. Mentors, students and faculty interact throughout the process to provide maximum learning benefit to students. Internship sites. Pilgrimage works with students in internships with a variety of sites. While Pilgrimage works with students to locate quality internships, it is the responsibility of the student to effectively market him/herself to organizations at which he/she would like to intern. Our network of learning sites provides an array of roles, responsibilities and opportunities that serve to customize a student's learning path for the type of ministry they plan to pursue professionally. Evaluation and grades. Evaluation is an integral part of the educational process. Throughout the program students interact with self evaluation, peer evaluation, and evaluation from faculty and mentors. All evaluation is formative in nature until the course is finalized. Formative evaluations often involve issues which surface that are not directly related to course objectives in order to help students gain maximum benefit from available feedback. The course objectives, however, are the basis of all evaluation that is translated into a grade. Student progress toward those objectives will be tracked with the student throughout the duration of the course. A rubric is attached to each course syllabus identifying which grades are assessed for what levels of competency. Philosophy of Student Learning Evaluation In the context of this program of study, student learning evaluation will be seen as a significant part of the learning process. Each course of study is designed to assist students in gaining competencies related to one of the program goals. In pursuit of that goal, each course is built around a set of learning objectives. Those objectives together define the specifics of the goal. All student learning evaluation is aimed at determining the degree to which a student has achieved the specific course objectives and thus the program goal addressed in that course. Evaluation will happen in a variety of forms throughout the student s interaction with each course, including peer evaluation, evaluation of student designed products by consumers of those products, formal and informal performance evaluation provided by the student s mentor, and formal and informal academic evaluation provided by the instructor. Informal evaluation will cover a range of issues complementary to the course objectives, designed to be helpful to students as they pursue the learning process. All formal evaluation will be tied directly to the course objectives. While it is necessary for students to do all course assignments or alternative exercises agreed upon with the instructors, evaluation will be based on what those assignments demonstrate regarding student s mastery of the course objectives. An evaluation rubric is attached to each course syllabus indicating various levels of competency against which student performance will be measured and the grade that will be assigned at each level. Results of all formal evaluation will be indicated on the appropriate course rubric along with the rater s identification. A comprehensive evaluation rubric (attached below) is provided as an instrument for tracking student competencies related to the entire program by combining assessment information from individual courses. Evaluation should be seen as primarily formative in nature. Students are encouraged to interact with all forms of evaluation, using it as an aid for improvement. Accordingly no evaluation will be seen as final until the student chooses to finalize the process of improvement and resubmission of work. Grades are submitted at the appropriate time based on current level of achievement. Those grades may be changed at a future date as students demonstrate continued advancement in their competency related to the course objectives. It should be further noted that while the instructor may take into account the results of peer evaluations and product consumer evaluations, grades are based on assessment by the instructor, and the mentor of the level of competence displayed in a student s performance. Course grades are an average of grades assessed for PO Box 538, Factoryville, PA 18419, Ph: , Fx: Copyright 2012 Version 1.0 Updated 10/12
