Class Title: Church-based Community Development
Class Time: 10:00am – 5:00pm
Class Description: Based on a biblical theology of “wholeness,” it is important that Christians doing community development understand how to assess needs, develop programs, sustain funding, train staff, and evaluate their efforts.
This workshop will focus on integrating faith and appropriate program development that addresses the wholistic needs of people. Programs for children and youth will be discussed along with adult special needs, including job programs, literacy, homelessness, alcohol/drug rehabilitation, and basic needs assistance.
Instructor: Dr. Jimmy Dorrell, Founder and Executive Director of Mission Waco in Waco, Texas; Pastor of Church Under the Bridge; Adjunct Professor at George W. Truett Theological Seminary (Baylor)
