Equip for the Future

Create a culture of equipping for the future by teaching students and faculty how to find a community of faith, integrate faith and work, steward their resources, integrate spiritual practices and get involved in mission and ministry.

Description

This course guides students and faculty in developing a culture focused on preparing for life beyond college through faith. It covers finding a supportive faith community, integrating faith with work, and practicing stewardship of resources. Participants will learn to introduce key conversations on faith and vocation early on, not just near graduation. The course provides practical skills for handling adult responsibilities such as budgeting, managing work-life balance, and understanding various life stages. By the end, learners will be equipped to foster spiritual growth and involvement in mission and ministry beyond their academic environment.
