SUMMARY:Pathways Online Course: Mission & Evangelism
DESCRIPTION:Pathways Online Course instructed by Rev. Dr. Aram Feinberg: Mission & Evangelism\n \nBefore joining Bayside\, Rev. Dr. Aram Feinberg was the associate pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville. The shape of her call began in ministry with youth & families before shifting towards outreach & adult faith formation. \nAram attended Smith College and taught fifth grade before going to Princeton Seminary (MDiv).  She continued her theological education at Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond (MACE) and Union Theological Seminary in New York City (PhD) where she served as director of family ministries at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church. She is an instructor for Union Presbyterian Seminary’s continuing education program\, teaching mission & evangelism. \nCourse Description: \nThe overarching goal of this course is to develop a contextual framework to understand mission and evangelism. Students will re-imagine the contours of mission and the task of evangelism\, involving a theologically based approach to mission and evangelism and considering the impact of the growing demographic of the “unaffiliated” (or Spiritual But Not Religious) across the religious landscape of America. Students will examine an approach to mission and evangelism that addresses the needs of society\, reflecting ways in which a local church continues its commitment to the gospel message (love God and love neighbor) and to the great commission (go and make disciples). \nDates: Mondays from 7-9pm EST\, April 28 – June 2\, 2025 \nOffered by the Leadership Institute at Union Presbyterian Seminary \n \n\nRegistration closes on April 23\, 2025 \nIf you are UPSem faculty or staff or are in financial need of a discounted registration fee\, please contact Deborah Keyes.
