Placement & Ministry Practicum — Year 1

Theory becomes real. Blind spots surface. Character is tested.

About this subject

A structured, assessed placement in a local church or ministry context running across the full year. This is not work experience. It is a supervised, intentional learning environment where students apply every subject they are studying to a real ministry context. Theory becomes real. Blind spots surface. Character is tested in ways a classroom cannot replicate.
