The Capstone Portfolio and Project revisits key assessments throughout the Bible and Theology curriculum, as well as each discipleship practicum and its ministry project. Each student’s portfolio collection, analysis and presentation addresses three research questions that arise from each of three, primary resources for ministry: 1) The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments 2) the Practices of Christian Life in the Local Church; and 3) the Cultural and Institutional Contexts in which the student is called to serve. Each student’s Capstone Presentation is a celebration of their learning that appropriates key themes and practices from our curriculum into their plans for ministry. PURSUING ORDINATION?
