CED 500 - Foundations in Faith Formation


Laments about the decline of Christianity are as old as the church itself. Yet the need for a passionate embrace of the importance of teaching the faith has never been more urgent. This course takes these concerns seriously and explores the issue of personal and communal faith formation in the context of both congregational life and contemporary culture. Students will study a number of specific topics and themes, including the theological goals of educational ministry, characteristics of learners and faith development issues, the teaching process, curricula selection, and the process of evaluation. Students will study these topics utilizing a variety of techniques, including lecture, small group discussion, student-led discussion and presentation, video, and internet resources.

3 Credits.
