Studying
Christian Education at Brewer Christian College will provide
you with the tools needed to build and implement a Christ centered
program at your church or Christian School. With real Christian
Education professionals as mentors, our program will work with
your local church, school, or ministry to help you become the "equipped" minister
that God has called you to be.
In the gospel
according to Matthew, Jesus commissions his followers to "go...and
make disciples." The Christian Education program at Brewer
Christian College is for people who would respond to this call
by preparing for a specialized ministry of teaching and educational
leadership in the church.
This degree
equips persons with a theological framework for ministry constructed
through critical engagement with the scriptures, history and
systematic theology, as well as immersion in the spiritual practices
of the Christian tradition. The program augments this framework
with practical theology courses emphasizing four central concerns
of Christian education: spiritual formation, biblical literacy,
public witness, and lifelong learning. Students also engage in
field education and participate in an integrative seminar during
their final year.
Program
