Winter Online CE Classes

Pittsburgh Theological Seminary’s Office of Continuing Education will offer two online courses this winter. They include “Beyond Bullet Points: Preaching with Images” and “Church Administration”. Each course runs Jan. 10-March 4.

Erin Cox-Holmes, associate general presbyter in the Presbytery of Kiskiminetas, and Edward Goode, pastor of The Presbyterian Church of Wyoming, will co-teach “Beyond Bullet Points: Preaching with Images.” This course will cover the visual culture in which we live and how that affects preaching. It will address the technical basics that anyone with a computer can do in order to use images with sermons. The group will start with the “Why?’ and move on to the beginnings of “How?”

In the second online class, “Church Administration”, Wayne Yost, general presbyter of the Presbytery of Kiskiminetas, will focus on the biblical, theological, and polity foundations for church administration. The group will look at the mission, ministry, and maintenance of the church, and think about their leadership style. Participants will examine stewardship, budgeting, program development, and implementation.

Registration fee is $200 per class. Continuing Education Units are available upon completion of this course. Certificates are also available upon request.
