Notes Announcement: A Study of “Christian Education” Programs in Bible Colleges, Christian Colleges/Universities and Seminaries

This research effort will undertake a review of the nature and scope of educational ministry preparation programs at the Bible College, Christian Liberal Arts College/University, and Seminary levels in evangelical educational institutions in the United States and Canada. The desire is to better understand what is being offered in educational ministry programs, how they have been changing over the last few years, trends impacting these programs in the present, and directions anticipated for the future. This effort will also attempt to identify areas of need for strengthening the equipping of students for educational ministry leadership roles. The initial proposal (Phase I) focuses on mapping the current state of educational ministry preparation programs as they exist today, preparing the way for a more in-depth study (Phase II) of changes in the field and new directions and models being developed.
