Description
In this course we seek to lay Biblical, theological and practical foundations for the church’s work of discipling, educating and equipping the whole people of God for life and ministry in and for the world. The course works from the assumption that “education” and “equipping” are sub-sets of “making disciples”. We will take considerable time to work through key Biblical texts on discipleship, always with an eye toward hands-on application. We will also take time to work through a philosophy of education, looking at different models and theories of human learning. We will then work through “for the marketplace” ways of equipping God’s people to serve out of their Spirit-given giftedness.
