Personal Statement Of Purpose: Point University Ministry

732 Words3 Pages

I, Demetri Tolbert, am a Point University alumni who graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Child and Youth Development. I am applying for the Masters of Divinity program because I believe the program will provide an opportunity for me to further my knowledge in ministry to not only build an effective ministry, but to grow people in the knowledge of God. On December 31, 2015, I was ordained as a minister of the Gospel under the leadership of my pastor, Bishop Frank McLeod. As I have grown up in and around church, with both Baptist and Pentecostal backgrounds, I have experienced great denominational divide in the body of Christ. However, I know God is too great to be confined within denominational constructs. I believe this program will give me substantial knowledge in breaking barriers that have divided the Body of Christ for so long. I am confident I will grow extensively in Christian leadership as I feel this program will equip me with a stronger and deeper Biblical foundation for effective kingdom work. …show more content…

Regent University Application Essay

1758 Words | 8 Pages

Regent University allows students to grow both academically and spiritually into Christian leaders that will greatly impact the world to advance the Kingdom of God. Regent not only teaches students, but they also equip students to fulfill the Great Commission; which is to go out and teach the nations about Jesus. My vision after graduating from Regent is to heal God’s broken people through a holistic approach; addressing the physical, mental, and spiritual needs through the formation of a nonprofit organization. A MA in Practical Theology would enable me to teach and minister from an outreach approach; sometimes teaching to the homeless in the streets, other times reaching those in shelters, and also those broken within the church. This demographic appeals to me, because I know what it feels like to be broken and lost; and I further understand the power that is in Jesus and his ability to restore and heal.

Loma Linda Personal Statement

Moreover, I also learned that the solutions to the global crisis are more effective when carried out on a smaller scale which diminishes the ineffectiveness of bureaucracies. The reason we have a lot of nonprofit organizations today is because they are efficient in tackling the issue or cause they are devoted to. A graduate degree in theology will not only prepare me to become a pastor, but it will also set me up to pursue a Doctorate degree in Intercultural Studies from Fuller Seminary which I'm planning to pursue. This degree is designed around theoretical content and research methods to solve practical problems in an area where the student wants to see change.

It is a six month program where the OB alumni gets to be discipled while discipling another younger person.

To develop my Personal Mission Statement I used Covey’s Exercise one. You transport yourself to an important marker in your life and you describe it in large detail. I decided to use this way to help with my mission statement because it gave me a chance to think about what I would like people to recognize me by. It was a chance to think about each person that I would want to attend and the reason of why they would be there. What kind of mark would I leave on their life that would want them to attend a celebration about me.
