Christian Education: Urban Ministry Development

Dr. Damon R. Jones and Dr. Elaine Joyner

This Doctor of Ministry program will use Christian education as the foundation of all other ministries of the church. Participants will use Christian education as the vehicle to equip and empower pastors and church leaders to become more effective in ministry, in the faith formation of its members and provide outreach ministries to the surrounding community. Participants will be trained and exposed to the dynamics of teaching in various communities of faith and curriculum development. Participants will research various elements of teaching, literature on teaching, foundations of Christian Education, teaching strategies, and analyzing various contexts in order to be more effective in teaching practices.
