Systems in Ministry - 2024 Theory and Supervision Groups
Develop your understanding of human interactions through participation in a Systems in Ministry Theory and Supervision (TAS) group. Our goal is to create an enriching learning environment through informative pre-reading, which will be discussed in collaborative sessions where ministry scenarios are considered and reflected upon with a systems lens.
Who Should I Join?
If you are involved in any form of ministry and aspire to enhance your understanding of yourself and human interactions, TAS groups are tailor-made for you.
Immerse yourself in learning, share experiences, and discover the relevance of Bowen Family Systems Theory to your ministry. Engage in thoughtful discussions and explore the congruence and incongruence of the theory with Biblical teaching.
