Practicum

All students will be required to participate in a ministry of Rancho Community Church. Practicum will include a minimum of 5 hours per week serving and 1 hour per month meeting with the ministry team leader. The student will collaborate with the team leader to set learning goals. A reflection paper outlining the goals, the experience serving, and the lessons learned will be submitted to school faculty every 8-10 weeks.

Mentorship

All students will be required to find a mentor (preferably a ministry team leader) or one will be assigned to them. An important aspect of education in ministry is character development and growing to be more Christ-like. There are 6 assessments that students will fill out with their mentors and revisit each time they meet. The initial assessments will be turned in to school faculty upon completion and will be revised and resubmitted each year.
