Explaining the Schdule

I got to sit down with Barb from WBC to go over my proposed schedule for ESOM and layout some ground work for the involvement of RMCC and WBC. We got a lot of distance in this meeting and have the basic premise laid out for the schedule.

ESOM Premise:

• 45 hours required for credited classes
• 7 weeks for 3.5 hours each class = 24.5 hours
• 21.5 hours research time and study
• two tracks all year long and two classes per track per semester.
• 8 classes year 1, 9 classes year 2
• a couple internship classes
• each class is 3 credit hours
• 12 hours each semester plus internship credits, 1.5 each semester
• 27 credits each year
• Instructors from WBC and Krisann and Myself so that students would have a wide range of voices
  

Met with Team Church - TMC

Again part of the heart of ESOM is to partner with other churches where we can use our resources to help train and equip leaders and be able to send them back to their church for service. So for their weekend service and mid-week service they will be at their own church then for intern training and schooling they will be at RMCC for training.

Today I met with Dave Beach, the lead pastor at Tempe Metropolitan Church. He has a college aged guy named Jonathan that will be leading their youth. We met with him to discuss his future involvement in ESOM. We laid out the guidelines and expectations for being in one church for service and leading and in another church for school and leadership training.

He agreed and is planning on attending.
