Abstract

This work is a study focused on Hillsdale Free Will Baptist College. It is concerned with questions about the current nature of mentoring within the Free Will Baptist denomination especially , its educational institutions. The primary premise of the work is that there is no formal structure for the mentoring of a new generation of ministers available to ministry students at Hillsdale Free Will Baptist College. The benefits to the student, mentor, church, and institution warrant development of such a formal structure to provide mentoring of ministry students. The thesis begins with an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of Hillsdale College's current ministry training program. The concept of mentoring is defined as one in which the more skilled or more experienced person, serving as a role model, teachers, sponsors, encourages, counsels, and befriends, a less skilled or less experienced person for the purpose of promoting the latter's professional and or personal development. This process must be done within the context of an ongoing caring relationship. The thesis concludes with a chapter in which a mentoring program for Hillsdale is designed and implemented.
