Course Description
This course introduces students to the teaching and discipling ministries of the church. The focus is on the teaching office of the church as a means by which the gospel calls and shapes disciples in community. Attention will be given to not only teaching in traditional programs such as Sunday School, but to recognizing other educational opportunities, both inside and outside the church, for building up the whole body of Christ in the Christian faith.
