“Not only can anyone be an entrepreneur, but they must
be.” – Reid Hoffman, cofounder and executive chairman of LinkedIn Corporation,
and author of The Startup of You.
The Theological Education Department at Tabor College
Wichita is considering introducing an online masters degree in Entrepreneurial Ministry Leadership. The
current era is defined by rapid change therefore ministry today requires
entrepreneurial leaders who are trained in biblical studies, who are aware of
their own strengths and weaknesses, and who have the ability to lead and think
creatively and innovatively. We are designing this program for such a leader.
This degree will emphasize a variety of areas, including:
the Bible, creativity, understanding culture, semiotics, and how to start new
ministries in a variety of contexts.
The degree will be delivered online, along with a faculty supported
learning community, an international learning experience, and supervised
ministry experience in the student’s local context.

I think that this is fabulous - and something much needed - an element of entrepreneurship in theology. I work for Brisbane Catholic Education, fortunately in a very creative department known as ResourceLink, which is responsible for information and resourcing, but to often in general creativity and entrepreneurship are not considered when working in the educational sphere. Congratulations on an fantastic initiative.
