Abstract
There is more responsibility than ever on college faculty to deliver outstanding instruction in the classroom. Accordingto the Association of College and University Educators, today’s universities lean on strong teaching skills from their instructors, including adjunct instructors, because research shows a direct correlation between classroom management skills and higher retention rates and increased on-time graduation rates. The Biblical Leadership Curriculum for the Seapointe College Bachelor of Ministry project was two-fold, utilizing current leadership research to equip educators on the most important aspects of teaching students while also incorporating the latestresearch in biblical leadership and followership to give students, at the bachelor’s level, a well rounded understanding of leadership in order to prepare them for successful leadership and for further study. This curriculum project consists of eight bachelor’s level courses and includes an instructor’s guide and full syllabus, with resources and assignments, matching bachelor’s level accreditation standards, for each course. The courses provided are Principles of Self-Leadership, Leadership Theory & Practice, Practical Leadership, Cross-Cultural Leadership, Leadership & Followership, Leadership & Organizations, Strategic Competencies, and Historic Biblical Leadership.
