“Theology of Community and Ministry” is the third chapter of your ministry project, you are submitting it first. The chapter should address two elements clearly—theology of community and theology of ministry. Let us look at these elements in detail. Theology of Community: What we believe about the church and Christian fellowship is central to our understanding of ministry. The theology of community section forms the other part of the theological foundations for your project, alongside your theology of ministry section. Here, you will present a practical ecclesiology—a systematic presentation of your understanding of Christian community as it relates to your ministry project. In the first part of this chapter, you should survey the following issue areas: The primary biblical passages and motifs that inform your understanding of Christian community The essential features of your tradition’s view of ecclesiology (Roman Catholic, Baptist, Pentecostal, etc.), including an assessment of its strengths and weaknesses related to your project Perspectives from other ecclesial traditions that might inform your project Theology of Ministry: In the second part of the chapter, you address specific theological issues related to the ministry project, such as: Identifying and describing the biblical and theological principles or perspectives that inform the research question or problem, with careful attention to the issues of context and interpretation Identifying and describing relevant perspectives from your theological or ecclesial tradition Critically examining other historical or current theological approaches that are relevant to the research question or problem and offering a comparison and contrast with your own approach After reading the chapter, a reader should be able to: Identify the key theological and ecclesiological issues at stake in your ministry project. Understand your particular theological and ecclesiological perspective on the research question or problem. Discern the relationship between your theological and ecclesiological commitments and the shape of your ministry project.
