DALLAS—For the first time, a series of seminars during the Baptist General Convention of Texas annual meeting can help ministers and laypeople gain foundational ministry principles on the way to earning a certificate of completion.
The first two of four Paraclete seminar tracks will be offered during the BGCT annual meeting Oct. 29-30 in Amarillo. Four seminars in leadership and four seminars in biblical/theological studies will be offered during the meeting. Seminars on Baptist distinctives and spiritual formation will be offered in future years.
In order to earn a Paraclete certificate, students must complete four seminars in each of the four tracks. Individuals may participate in as many as four seminars during each BGCT annual meeting.
Each seminar is limited to 20 students. Preregistration is recommended.
In addition to the Paraclete seminars, a variety of workshops will be offered during the BGCT annual meeting that provide practical ministry help.
