The Pastoral Class of Guangzhou CC&TSPM in the third quarter of 2022 was held at Guangdong Union Theological Seminary as scheduled.
From August 29 to September 1, more than 70 pastoral staff from Guangzhou churches attended the study, under the premise of implementing epidemic prevention and control measures, Guangzhou CC&TSPM reported.
Rev. Yue Qinghua, president of Fujian Theological Seminary, lectured on "Planning in Church Management" and "Organization in Church Management". Citing the deeds of planning in the Old Testament and the New Testament, Rev. Yue combined examples of church pastoral management to explain the importance of analysis and planning, emphasizing that church administrators must have a clear vision, adjust measures to local conditions, and plan carefully. The organization is the solid backing to ensure that the planning is carried out as scheduled. Yue explained the importance, evolution, functions, and goals of organizations, organization and church management, and ideal church organizations.
Rev. Lin Delai, vice president of Fujian CC&TSPM and vice president of Fujian Theological Seminary, further lectured on "Church Leadership and Management". He clearly pointed out that leadership and management were inseparable, as good church management could not be separated from a competent leader. Unlike other organizations, pastors, as leaders of the church, must be "spiritual leaders", which put forward a request for the personnel training of pastors. Based on the teachings of the Bible, Lin explained the relationship between church leadership and management of the church from various aspects such as the creation process, priesthood, and church ministry, so as to improve the ability to lead the church and to improve the level of managing the church.
Dr. Chen Yu, a full-time teacher at Guangdong Union Theological Seminary, delivered a lecture on "Paul's Theology". Dr. Chen analyzed the significant impact of Paul's theology on the development of Christianity based on the Book of Acts, Pauline epistles, and three missionary trips, guiding pastoral staff to think about their own faith history and devotion will.
In this course, the pastoral staff discussed questions after each study in groups, conducting mutual learning and exchanging through group reports.
Because this pastoral class coincided with the opening day of Guangdong Union Theological Seminary, all the teachers and students participated in the flag-raising ceremony of the opening ceremony.

广州市基督教两会教牧班2022年第三季度课程在广东协和神学院如期进行。
2022年8月29至9月1日，在落实疫情防控措施的前提下，广州教会全体教牧人员共70余人参加学习，据广州市基督教两会。
福建神学院院长岳清华牧师讲授《教会管理中的策划》《教会管理中的组织》。岳牧师引用旧约与新约中关于策划的事迹，结合教会牧养管理的实例，阐述分析策划的重要性，强调教会管理必须明确异象，因地制宜、周密计划。而组织则是保障策划如期进行的坚实后盾。岳牧师讲解组织的重要性、演变、功能及目标，组织与教会管理、理想的教会组织等内容。
福建省基督教协会副会长、福建神学院副院长林德来牧师进一步讲授《教会领袖与管理》。林牧师明确指出领袖与管理密不可分，良好的教会管理离不开一个称职的领袖。教会有别于其他组织，教牧人员作为教会的领袖，必须是“属灵的领袖”，这对教牧人员的人才培养工作提出了更高的要求。林牧师结合圣经教导，从创世经历、圣职职份、教会事工等多方面讲解教会领袖与管理的关系，提升带领管理教会的能力及水平。
广东协和神学院专职教师陈宇博士本次主讲课程为《保罗神学》。陈博士结合圣经《使徒行传》及保罗书信、三次宣教之旅，分析保罗神学对基督教发展所产生的重大影响，引导教牧人员藉着学习，思考自身的信仰历程与事奉心志，更好地牧养信徒、服侍教会。
本次课程每日学习课后均设有问题思考，教牧人员通过分组讨论的形式进行交流，并通过小组汇报实现互学互通。
本次教牧班期间恰逢广东协和神学院开学日。9月1日上午9时，广州市基督教两会教牧班全体师生参加广东协和神学院新学年开学典礼的升国旗仪式。
