Description

The Family and Church Education (FACE) program seeks to prepare competent leaders to serve local churches or parachurch organizations. Students learn to administer the total educational program of a church, while also specializing in a particular age-level or target-group ministry. Students will develop a biblical philosophy of leadership. They learn how to prepare and communicate Bible lessons that are educationally and biblically sound. By working with a variety of age groups, they identify the characteristics, needs and developmental tasks of children, youth and adults. FACE offers six core courses, and permits students to choose and design a "ministry skills package" of 12 semester hours in accord with their future plans. FACE gives students a significant number of choices and control over their education.
