ENTREPRENUERSHIP FOR MINISTRY
When entrepreneurship has the right focus it can serve as a great form of ministry. An entrepreneur provides a great product or service to those that need and want it. The end-users reward the entrepreneur with a currency. That currency allows entrepreneur to provide self-support and an income for employees and suppliers of equipment, payment for needed services and so on. A traditional ministry nowadays provides a great service, but has to ask for finances to keep doing what they do. Entrepreneurial empowerment discourages dependency and elevates sustainability.
ACTIVE Ministry entrepreneurship focus serves to meet needs in communities. Students who go through Entrepreneurship and Innovation program would be fully equipped to meet those needs in practical and relevant ways. Students become better prepared for their community or ministerial roles through unique course formats, delivery modes, online interaction, and learning through community development endeavors.
Entrepreneurs and innovators dream of new solutions to generational problems and current challenges. An increasing number of individuals find themselves called to minister and serve in contexts without ready-made organizational support. Often their dreams languish simply because there is no clear path forward.
As a ministry, entrepreneurial efforts are never merely about bringing innovative ideas to life. They arise from a sense that God is nudging us to offer our gifts and service via new forms and avenues. They seek to serve God and humankind in ways that transform and improve our lives together. The entrepreneurship program provides a foundation, content, plus mentors to help those individuals called to entrepreneurial forms of ministry, including the launch of that ministry before the training conclusion.
In Entrepreneurship studies, students learn how to build, promote, and manage their own small businesses. They also learn how to apply their creativity and energy to make existing businesses more productive. Studies will involve good training in business management. Students will learn about cost, benefit and competitive analysis; investment returns; e-commerce; legal aspects; marketing and sales; supply and demand; and applicable laws….
To the aspiring entrepreneur, a college degree cannot guarantee millions of dollars in revenue; but an education in entrepreneurship can enable you to better comprehend the business aspects of successfully operating a new venture, and how to capitalize on natural talent and learned skills.
Additionally, entrepreneurship training is vital to those who will eventually be hiring and developing a winning team of workers. After a student has completed their course of study, not only will they be able to effectively determine which candidates will be most productive for them and their business, but students will also know how to efficiently finance, manage and market their small business; identify new and opportune business enterprises; and create strategic business plans.
