REL 364 Models of Children's Ministry
This course introduces students to the field of children’s ministry, examining its history and theological foundations. It will cover both church and para-church paradigms and models and their development. Specific attention will be given to the tools and practices for developing theologically based, developmentally appropriate contextual models of children’s ministry. A broad spectrum of issues that affect and inform children’s ministry model development will be covered, including community and local church culture, working with parents, social justice and children, globalization, multi-cultural children’s ministry, and the children’s worker as a person. This course requires a practical experience lab in a local church.
