This course is designed for pastors or those who are responsible for the educational program in the local church. It provides a biblical foundation for Christian education as well as numerous guidelines for effective teaching. Attention is given to matters such as lesson planning and ministering to specific age levels in the church. The latter part of the course deals with administering the educational program, training leaders and teachers, and relating the educational task to the total ministry of the church.
 
If you are enrolled in this course for three credits, the third credit will be earned by completing a collateral reading assignment (CRA) based on the textbook "Creative Bible Teaching: Revised and Expanded by Lawrence O. Richards and Gary J. Bredfeldt.
