COURSES

This undergraduate course will introduce students to a myriad of historical and modern spiritual disciplines from a wide variety of Christian expressions. Through the lens of Scripture and historical practices, students will appreciate why the disciplines are important, what fruit they produce and how they can be incorporated into a busy lifestyle. Multiple opportunities to practice these skills will be provided.

Introduction to Spiritual Formation

This course helps prepare students for Christian leadership by making them aware of different leadership theories, leadership skills, and leadership disciplines. By attending the Global Leadership Summit, completing a StrengthsFinder Assessment, and other means, students will deepen their understanding of godly leadership and will articulate key insights about their personal leadership gifts and values.

Foundations of Leadership

This course aims to examine the theory and practice of leadership as it has developed historically and is evident in present contexts. Our study includes biblical models and examples of leadership and examines elements of organizational theory and behaviour that are linked to effective leadership and management.

Leadership Theory & Practice

This course focuses on the spiritual formation and development of those called to be leaders but also addresses the topic of spiritual formation more broadly. Students will explore principles of spiritual formation, personal growth, and the practice of spiritual disciplines for their own lives to become more effective leaders and mentors.

Spiritual Formation of Leaders

This graduate-level course is happening in 2024

With a goal of an integrated theology of leadership, this course is a study in biblical examples, models, and teachings concerning leadership. It explores identity and vocation, crediblity and authenticity in leadership, as well as issues related to culture, community, and organizational realities that interact with biblically-based leadership.

The STAND Wholehearted Spiritual Formation Course

We are always experiencing spiritual formation. The question is how are we being formed?

This spring, you are invited to join us for the STAND Wholehearted Spiritual Formation Course at Horizon College. The course will include a community of women growing to understand and experience the transformative Word of God in mind, body and soul - so we can be the hands and feet of Jesus in our world.

“Nothing, absolutely nothing, is more powerful, more intimate, and more important than to listen to the call of God our Creator, and to realign yourself to the very purpose of life and the universe by following his call wherever your life leads.
