From Dr. Hudson: 
In several decades of active ministry, I was able to work with congregations in, such projects as developing a strategic action plan to lead the congregation into a greater local understanding of mission as ministry. Also, during this period, a capital program for the erection of a new Family Life Center was successfully completed. In another congregation, a third worship service was launched with a dedicated emphasis on reaching the un-churched using various innovative approaches and contemporary worship music in a classic rock style. 

Additionally, his research while at Asbury Theological Seminary focused on leadership studies. Subject matter included effective ministry and turn around strategies related to the various generational and cultural segments present within society.
