Institute for Missional Engagement

MVNU invites you to join us for preaching and worship and ministry resource training workshops for various church leadership positions (children's ministries, youth ministries, women in ministry, etc.). These workshops are held each year as we invite insightful theologians, ministers, and others to share their experiences to better your ministry.

PASTOR SEMINAR DAY

The School of Christian Ministry of Mount Vernon Nazarene University is excited to offer another learning opportunity for pastors and leaders on our field. On Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2023, we are excited to host Dr. Andrew Root.

He is most recently the author of the four volume Ministry in a Secular Age series (Churches and the Crisis of Decline, The Congregation in a Secular Age, The Pastor in a Secular Age, and Faith Formation in a Secular Age). We invite you to join us for a day of learning and discussion alongside our ministry students as he shares with us what it means to have a hopeful ecclesiology in a secular age.

The event will be held on the campus of MVNU, in Ariel Arena’s Foster Hall, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Registration cost is $49, with a continental breakfast and lunch provided.
