Selected Readings for Church Administration Students

The following internet articles are assigned reading for my Church Administration students at Winston-Salem Bible College. In the Syllabus, you find "Selected Readings" for several days assignments. These are links to those selected readings. I have posted them in this way to keep you from having to type in the URL, as some of them are very lengthy and complicated. Students are not required to print all these articles, but are required to read them all. Students will be held accountable for this reading on quizzes and major exams.
