Summer 2026 Semester
We exist to show forth the glory of Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit to a fallen humanity, to bring restoration to the whole person in spirit, mind, and body, to educate the whole man in all aspects of life: to equip men and women to become leaders for the next generation of revival, and to bring back the Church to where it once was in the book of Acts. Bethesda College is a place where minds do shine with the light of academic excellence, but it is also a place where hearts burn with the love of Jesus.
Minister in Training Shepherding 101 with Pastor Chris Monnerjahn
- Tuesdays 6-7:15pm
- In-Person Only
- Located in the Bethesda Classroom
- Starts May 26
Shepherding 101 is a dynamic, hands-on training experience designed for emerging leaders, young adults, and anyone sensing a call to pastoral ministry. This course moves beyond theory, giving you practical tools and real-world opportunities to grow as a shepherd of people.
Together, we’ll explore the biblical foundation of pastoral ministry while developing essential skills like hearing God’s voice, building a life of prayer, and confidently preparing and delivering impactful sermons. You’ll also learn how to lead with authenticity through discipleship, life groups, and meaningful relationships.
But this class doesn’t stop in the classroom.
You’ll engage in real ministry moments—hospital visits, praying for the sick, following up with people, and walking alongside others in life’s most important seasons. From weddings and funerals to baptisms and communion, you’ll gain hands-on experience in the sacred responsibilities of pastoral care.
Whether you’re called to full-time ministry or simply want to lead and serve more effectively, Shepherding 101 will equip you with the heart, character, and practical skills needed to care for people the way Jesus did.
This course includes real-life ministry assignments such as:
- Leading a life group
- Preparing and sharing messages
- Making follow-up calls and home visits
- Participating in pastoral care opportunities
Come ready to grow, be stretched, and step into your calling.
