The UB Staff Management Course is being held today (Wednesday, July 11) at the Healthy Ministry Resources building in Huntington, Ind. Denny Miller, senior pastor of Emmanuel Community Church (Fort Wayne, Ind.), is teaching the class. The class includes 18 persons–13 attending in person, another 5 attending remotely via our new videoconferencing capabilities. Three persons are attending from Blue Rock UB church in Waynesboro, Pa., and two more from Cochranton, Pa.
The course is a requirement for ordination in the United Brethren church. The Pastoral Ministry Leadership Team developed a list of courses required for ordination, most of which can be obtained from a variety of seminaries. However, several courses are not readily available elsewhere, so we are providing them ourselves. Two of the courses are specifically United Brethren in nature–one on UB church history (which is a basic requirement for any ministerial licensing in the UB church), and a course on UB missions. The UB staffing course is the third.
About two-thirds of the participants are taking the course as an ordination requirement. The others are taking is as a continuing education requirement, or simply because it interests them.
