课程名称：教会管理神学与时间管理 概述：在教会管理中，作为牧师和领导者，如何有效地管理基督教会？神学在教会管理中应该占据什么样的重要性？本课程将探讨如何将管理原则和技巧运用到教会中，以使其更具信仰性，而不是变成世俗企业。通过这个杜克大学神学院的非学分课程，学员将学习到从神学的角度看待教会管理的重要性。 课程大纲： 1. **教会管理作为教会实践** 本单元将讨论教会管理的独特性，解析神学在教会管理中的重要性。课程将介绍为何管理工具应被用作实现教会管理神学目标的手段，并借助斯坦利·豪厄尔瓦斯（Stanley Hauerwas）的基督教伦理学观点，探讨教会管理作为教会实践的意义。学员将通过调查教会成员对“神学”和“教会管理”的看法，深入理解豪厄尔瓦斯的批评和见解与教会的相关性。 2. **教会管理作为牧师领导力** 本单元关注教会管理在牧师角色和领导力中的重要性。课程将借鉴早期教会的智慧，探讨有效教会领导的特征，阐明教会管理对牧师领导力和能力的重要性及其对牧师公信力、信任和权威的影响。学员将识别关键的牧师优先事项，从而与教会领导团队建立明确的共同理解。 3. **从时间管理到时间管理责任** 继前两周对教会管理神学基础的学习后，本单元将关注时间管理的实际应用。时间是一种宝贵的资源，尤其对牧师和非职业领导者而言，时间管理一直是一个主要挑战。学员将学习时间管理的关键原则、时间管理责任的神学，并制定合理的时间使用计划，以更好地管理神赐的时间。 4. **委派与会议管理** 经过时间管理计划的制定，接下来的挑战是如何执行并使日程与计划一致。学员将在本单元中培养必要的技能，包括学会说“不”、委派艺术和会议管理原则，以确保在实际操作中能够遵循既定目标。 通过本课程，参与者将掌握教会管理的神学与实用技能，以提升其在教会中的领导力与效率。
Name:Church Admin as Church Practices
Description:What’s distinctive about church administration? We will examine this crucial question by establishing why theology should matter in church admin. First, we will introduce the course by delineating our overall theological approach to church administration, namely, appropriating management tools as a means to achieving theological ends of church admin. Then, we will draw upon Stanley Hauerwas’s insights on Christian ethics to unpack why church admin constitutes church practices and what this means for its theological goals and stewardship. Closer to home, you’ll poll people in your church to discover their perceptions of “theology” and “church administration.” In doing so, you will better appreciate why Hauerwas’s critiques and insights are relevant for your church. Lastly, we’ll take some time to make sure you have a clear picture of how this course works and where it fits in the Church Administration Specialization.
Name:Church Admin as Pastoral Leadership
Description:How important should church admin be to your pastoral role and leadership? To address this question, we will begin by looking at the wisdom of the early church to glean what characterized effective church leadership. We will then examine why church admin is critical to pastoral leadership and competence and, therefore, why it’s crucial for your pastoral credibility, trust, and authority. As an important course assignment, you will identify your key pastoral priorities as the basis for a clear, shared understanding with your church leadership team.
Name:Time Management to Time Stewardship
Description:Given the theological foundations of church admin from Weeks 1 and 2, we turn to a concrete application of your time management. Time is one of the most precious resources we have, and in particular for pastors (and lay leaders), time management perennially ranks as a top ministry challenge. This week, you will learn key time management principles, a theology of time stewardship, and how these principles can be used as a tool for stewardship of time. Correlatively, you will examine how you actually spend your time and develop a plan to better steward the time God has given you.
Name:Delegation and Meeting Stewardship
Description:Now that you’ve developed a plan to steward your time according to your theological convictions and your pastoral priorities, the challenge is to follow through and align your schedule with the intentions expressed in your plan. This week, you’ll develop the skills you’ll need to get and stay on track by exploring the power of “no,” the art of delegation, and principles of meeting stewardship.
As church pastors and leaders, how should you manage Christian church administration? Shouldn’t Christian theology matter in church administration? If so, how? At the same time, how should you utilize management principles and techniques to make your church a more faithful church, rather than turning it into a secular enterprise? In this Duke Divinity+ non-credit course for church pastors and leaders, you will learn the importance of approaching church administration theologically. More specif
