MAP Course and Process for Diploma Students

The MAP (Ministry Assessment Program) course and process helps students prepare for their next phase of ministry after their initial training and enables students to reflect on their gifts and calling in ministry, and determine the types of training they need to seek out in order to properly prepare for their future ministry directions. We desire to empower our TUMI students to minister effectively within their own church, with the leaders of their tradition and denomination. In our view, advanced ministry training should be integrated with the student’s calling and service within their congregation’s ministry vision. This course is required for admission into the TUMI Ministerial Studies Diploma program. MAP Course Instruction Plan This course instruction plan includes the course description and all of the assignments that the student will need to fulfill their coursework. The MAP Process This is an at-a-glance sheet that you can give to the Academic Advisor that will guide them through the MAP Process with a student.
