Life Long Learning

Life Long Learning

Coram Deo offers an array of lifelong learning courses and cohorts that feed, nourish, and sustain the pastor for effective and lifelong ministry and effectiveness.  Designed primarily for pastors and church planters who have completed their equipping process, the lifelong learning courses and cohorts are open to all alumni as well as any pastor who wants to stay effective and sharp in the ministry.  

Coram Deo utilizes an In-Ministry Formation paradigm.  As Dr. Chuck Van Engen states in his book, Forming Leaders in Ministry, this paradigm seeks “to create a seamless, continuous process wherein leaders become life-long learners whose formation never ends” (p.28).
