About
Faithful discipleship refers to more than your Sunday service. Learn how to run your church faithfully and competently with the Church Administration specialization offered by Duke Divinity+.
The specialization consists of two foundational courses: Church Administration Theology and Time Management, in which you will learn how to approach church administration theologically and how to better steward your time, and Strategic Management for Churches, in which you will learn how to discern and establish church vision, core values and culture, goals and objectives, and metrics.
In addition to the foundational courses, you can choose between two elective courses—Human Resource Stewardship for Churches and Financial Stewardship for Churches—that contextualize specific business practices with a theological focus. All courses in the specialization can be taken in any order if you prefer a different starting point.
