ONE HARBOR IS HONORED TO BECOME THE OFFICIAL PORTERBROOK LEARNING CO-HORT FOR THE EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA AREA THROUGH OUR PARTERNSHIP WITH PLANT NC
Overview
Porterbrook East NC is delivered through distance learning with a monthly study group to assist students. These study groups are designed to help give students a broader experience as it relates to the material as they will have an opportunity to discuss the content and upcoming assignments as well as learn from each other. Each study group will be led by a facilitator familiar with the material and able to provide assistance. The dates of the study groups will be determined by the students present at the Introductory Day on October 22, 2011 at One Harbor Church, 512 Arendell St, Morehead City, NC 28557.
There are three Residential Weekends throughout the year. Residential Weekends comprise of Friday evening and the whole day Saturday. There will be assignments to prepare for each Residential Weekend, either in the form of a short presentation or as a written assignment with notes for discussion. The aim is to help students keep on track, apply their learning to their context, and learn from other students who are applying the material to their church and context.
The Porterbrook curriculum will require about 5-6 hours of study each week. The full course is over two years, comprising a foundation year and an advanced year. Students can join either year or both years depending on their needs and circumstances. The advanced year is for people who have had some previous theological training, experience in church leadership or have completed the foundation year. Anyone may apply for Porterbrook East NC, but we require each student to have the support of his or her local church.
