One of the books needed for the course is Ken Hoke's doctoral dissertation Servant Leadership and Theological Understandings: Does the Theology of the Brethren in Christ Impact the Way We Choose to Lead?
Registration is required for each course. Because these courses require preparatory work, the registration deadline is two weeks prior to the beginning of class.
Courses will be limited to 30 participants. In cases where courses are oversubscribed, extra classes will be added as feasible.
Persons who have completed college or seminary courses that may be similar to one or more of the core courses can send transcripts and course descriptions to the CMD office for equivalency evaluation.
Participants are responsible for arranging and paying for their own lodging, transportation and meals. Congregations are expected to participate in the cost for their pastor. When this is not feasible, the CMD may be contacted for financial assistance.
Given that each participant must do preparatory work, the registration deadline is two weeks prior to the beginning of the course.
For 2012 the cost of a course is $150 (USD) for credentialing credit.
However, if participants wish to enroll for 2 credits from Ashland Theological Seminary the cost for 2012 will be $200 (USD) for seminary credit
Courses taken for seminary credit require extra course work and evaluation.
