KIM Program

CRC 한인 목회연구원 (Korean Institute of Ministry) 역사적 배경

한인 목회연구원은 2006년 2월에 교단 총회위원회인 SMCC (Synodical Ministerial Candidacy Committee, 신학교육과 영입 총괄 위원회)에 의해서 의결된 SMCC 산하의 한인목회자 교육기관입니다. SMCC는 목회연구원의 KIM 교육을 인정하며, 칼빈신학교는 교육을 지원합니다. 각 노회는 가입 한인목회자의 교육을 목회연구원에 일임하고, 한인 교회와 사역을 후원합니다.

교단의 신학과 목회를 소개하고, 교단의 다양한 사역을 알리며, 궁극적으로 한인 교회를 돕기 위해 만들어진 KIM 프로그램은 한인 교회 목회에 필요한 오리엔테이션과 더불어 CRC 역사 및 개혁 신앙을 학습하고, 교단 헌법을 바탕으로 한인교회의 지도자를 세우는 프로그램입니다. 이를 위해서 한인 교회와 교단이 함께 재정적으로 후원하고 있습니다.

Courses Taught

Christian Theology in Reformed Confessions
Systematic Theology
“My students will tell you that I always ask the ‘So what?’ question. When I teach a concept, no matter how abstract it might seem, I try to give my students an idea of why it’s helpful for ministry, for understanding God, and for moving through life…My kids have taught me that if it doesn’t touch them in some way, what good is it?”
