Overview

The Divinity - Discipleship Ministries MDiv programme from the Liberty University provides training in the development of small group ministries and specifically family leaders who can help build relationships with congregates based on the love of God and the love of people. Family leaders guide their own family in spiritual growth and in turn offer additional leadership within the church. This is the first principle to successful discipleship.

Additionally, you will learn how to organize and lead small groups by understanding the dynamics related to the management of such groups. You can’t have healthy small groups if the church at large isn’t healthy, so you will also study how to lead a healthy church that grows and trains members in the Word of God. Teaching, preaching, and ministering are just a small part of keeping a church alive and healthy. Administration is often one of the greatest challenges you will face as a minister or member of a church staff. Therefore, you will examine staffing methods, finances, buildings, and public relations in order to build firm administrative principles and practices.
