Essentials of Christian Education

Dr. Parrett guides you in identifying a structure and process that you can use to teach the gospel in the context of your family and the educational ministry of your church. It is important to determine what questions you ask and the process you use to create your curriculum so that you can clearly communicate the gospel and challenge people to apply it in practical ways to their lives.

About This Class

How do you communicate the gospel within the setting of a church? Who are you teaching? What are you teaching? Why? These questions and more are answered in a way that will help you train up people in your local congregation, and especially train up the next generation.

These lectures are a summary of the full course, Educational Ministry of the Church. It is an introductory level course to the ministry of education within the church. These lectures were recorded by Biblical Training during the summer of 2003.
