DESCRIPTION
How can varied church ministries intentionally engage people in a teaching/learning process to grow towards maturity in Christ? This course explores some central issues involved: biblical and theological foundations of educational ministry, teaching and learning theories and methods, human development, intercultural dynamics in teaching and learning, curriculum planning, administration, and team building. We will make specific applications to a variety of ministries, accounting for children, youth, adult, senior adult, intergenerational events, and small groups. Learning tasks involve field testing, so involvement in local ministry during course is recommended.
