CHED 0666 - Education for Spiritual Development

As Christ’s church, we are called “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” We are “to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” This course will provide opportunity for participants to reflect on spiritual development, discipleship, and educational leadership issues in the church. What are people in the congregation learning? How does spiritual growth occur? Why is education important? How can spiritual development, disciple-making and education be intentional, pervasive movements through the life of a local church? How can church leaders be effective educators and champions of education in their congregations? This course will encourage students to reflect on a variety of approaches to spiritual growth, education, and opportunities for teaching and learning in and through the church. Offered occasionally.
