Publisher's Synopsis
Training Pastors in the Local Church: Five Models of Theological Education examines mentoring, internships, partnering with other ministries, church-based seminaries, and traditional Bible colleges or seminaries as possible avenues for ministerial training in the context of the local church. This booklet challenges pastors, churches, and ministers-in-training to think through the advantages and disadvantages of the various options, in hopes of advancing more active efforts to provide and take advantage of theological education through the local church.
