50 hours (5 weeks).
September 2021 - Present.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: acquire a broad vision of the history and development of the Christian liturgy; identify and discuss various liturgical practices and compare them to the Pentecostal liturgy; recognize and respect the different liturgical expressions within the Christian and non-Christian movement; develop and define a Latin Pentecostal liturgy; be sensitive to the Holy Spirit in the development of a public service and be critical of the elements to be used; make good use of visual elements that complement preaching, reading and music; think critically about the present and the future of our Latin Pentecostal liturgy; and plan a public service that is fully aware of a strong Pentecostal liturgy.
Instruction is offered completely online or in synchronous format through the use of study guides, required and supplemental readings, quizzes, homework, lab-required interaction with the instructor, and/or final exams. The course assesses students’ end-of-course knowledge and skills in an online format. Major topics include a liturgical practice with an emphasis on the Pentecostal tradition; exploration of history, theology, and development of church liturgy and worship; Biblical examples and how they have been transformed due to the different theological expressions, the context in which it is practiced, generational diversity and contemporary challenges; and examination of a Latin Pentecostal liturgy.
