IFDC930 – Rural Relationships and Rural Ministry

This class takes a drive down the backroads of our rural communities, exploring cultural, social, economic, and spiritual realities present in rural communities. Special attention is given to the need to explore the needs of the community and how student’s rural ministries can help. This course involves a weekly practice of observing and evaluating, as well as resources for how a church might best connect with these needs.

Students are required to have the following book for this class:

• Rural People and Communities in the 21st Century: Resilience and Transformation (2nd edition), by David L. Brown & Kai A. Schafft
• The Forgotten Church: Why Rural Ministry Matters for Every Church in America, by Glenn Daman
