Practicum II

The Ten Characteristics
of a Healthy Church

This practicum introduces students to The Ten Characteristics of a Healthy Church. Working alongside a mentor and completing practical expressions of ministry students will grow in relationship and leadership.

This course explores what it means to cultivate health in the local church and equips students to evaluate and strengthen the key areas that contribute to a healthy, effective ministry. Building on the foundation of personal and leadership health established in Practicum 1, students will examine the biblical, spiritual, relational, and organizational practices that help a church flourish.Through ten essential areas of church health, students will explore theological integrity, spiritual dependency, vision clarity, empowering leadership, incarnational living, discipleship strategy, effective systems, intentional environments, authentic biblical community, and gift-based ministry.Students will consider how these areas work together to create a church that is spiritually healthy, missionally focused, relationally connected, and equipped to make disciples. The course moves beyond simply identifying what a healthy church looks like and challenges students to think practically about how healthy ministry cultures are developed and sustained.By the end of the practicum, students will have a framework for evaluating the health of their local church and identifying practical steps toward greater health, effectiveness, and Kingdom impact.

Frequently asked questions

When can I start the course?

Whenever you want! LEADSOM is designed to let the student learn at their own pace. The only element of the course that has a specific date is the Live Session, which is offered 3 times per year, with the student only required to attend 1.

What happens if I have a question or need help?

You can ask your Live Instructor! Although LEADSOM classes are entirely online, that doesn't mean you're on your own. Every class has a subject matter expert who is available to answer questions and provide any help necessary. Additionally, they will grade your final projects as well as lead the Live Session discussion, so you will get to know them well.

I've already taken some Berean courses, do I get credit for them in LEADSOM?

Yes! All LEADSOM courses have a Berean equivalent so if you've already started your credentialing journey and want to continue with LEADSOM you can do that. In fact, on every course page you will be able to see the Berean equivalent. If you have any questions, just contact our registrar and submit your courses for a review.
