Thinking Deeply, Ministering Intentionally
Introducing the Idea to Action Series, a chance for United Brethren pastors, ministry staff, and laypersons to gather together to learn about and discuss practical ministry.
Each symposium in the Idea to Action Series is free for United Brethren pastors, staff, and members to attend. Huntington University undergraduate and graduate ministry students are also free to attend. Others who wish to join are welcome but will be charged a fee.
What: Each symposium will include an academic lecture, an interview with an exemplary practitioner, and a Q&A with a practitioner model.
When: Twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring, from 9:00 a.m.(registration) to 1:00 p.m.
Where: Attend the event live on Huntington University’s campus, or watch the live-streamed event at regional sites throughout the United Brethren denomination.
Why: The Idea to Action Series exists to:
- Provide theologically informed ministry perspectives
- Provide a consistent source of quality continuing education credits
- Provide opportunities for Huntington University ministry students and alumni to interact with local and regional ministry practitioners
The Inaugural 2019–2020 Series
Huntington University will host both events and will live-stream to regional host sites. Events include an optional lunch and Q&A with speakers.
