A PILOT GRIEF MINISTRY PROGRAM TO EQUIP GRIEF MINISTRY FACILITATORS IN THE LOCAL ADVENTIST CHURCHES by Joyce Marie Hatchett Adviser: James J. North, Jr. ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH DissertationOF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: A PILOT GRIEF MINISTRY PROGRAM TO EQUIP GRIEF MINISTRY FACILITATORS IN THE LOCAL ADVENTIST CHURCH Name of researcher: Joyce Marie Hatchett Name and degree of faculty adviser: James J. North, Jr., D.Min. Date completed: December 2005 Problem There is a need for a visible and effective Seventh-day Adventist Grief Ministry Training Program that is theologically sound and culturally sensitive that will serve the bereavement needs of both the local Seventh-day Adventist congregation(s) and others in the community. Method For this study, I used formative evaluation, sometimes referred to as pilot testing. Formative Evaluation has two goals: (1) To gain understanding through observation and soliciting responses of participants concerning how the curriculum and instructional processes might be improved; and (2) to develop strategies for improving the curriculum and instructional process. This pilot training program was held September 5-7, 2003, in the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, Room 150, at Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan. Twelve Seventh-day Adventists participated in this pilot program. Six were from campus housing and six were from local communities. Results Grief Ministry is vital for the faith community and provides several options for consideration to the individual or family that find themselves in need of this service after the death of a loved one. These comments from the participants were affirming. “It addressed my personal needs.” “It addressed relevant issues.” “The handouts and assignments given were very helpful.” “It promoted healing and I believe that it helped me to be in a better place.” The seminar was very encouraging as I witnessed the mental and emotional healing of the participants as they did their individual grief work. We all grew spiritually and experienced the physical strength that comes from intentionally allowing God to be a part of the grieving process. Conclusions Based on the presentations, observations, and discussions with participants, the seminar met its goal. It provided a model that can and will be improved upon. The conclusions and recommendations will be systematically implemented and evaluated in future training programs in an effort to refine the ministry.
