School of Christian Education

​

The School of Christian Education is one of the most exciting areas of study in our seminary because its programs are directly correlated with the commandments of God for diligent instruction, the teachings of the prophets in response to these commandments, and the life teachings of Jesus Christ throughout His earthly ministry.

 

Throughout Old Testament history the prophets were admonished to teach the law and commandments of God. Moses urged the people to keep the statutes and judgments of God and to do them. He let them know this was the source of their wisdom and understanding among the nations of the world (Deuteronomy 4:5-6).

 

Samuel the judge and prophet recognized that his major duty was to pray to God for his people and to teach the nation “the good and the right way.” (1 Samuel 12:23) The glory and prosperity of Judah under Jehoshaphat was due largely to the emphasis he laid upon religious instruction as the basis of national character and stability.

 

His Bible school faculty consisted of five princes, nine Levites and two priests who effected a moral and religious transformation, for “they taught in Judah, having the book of the law of Yahweh with them” (2 Chronicles 17:7-9).  Then we witness the greatest prophet and teacher of all in Jesus Christ; who for 3 years taught His disciples with urgency and intensity, the principles of Christian living and the transformation that would be necessary for them to be equipped to spread the Gospel throughout the world!

 

We pay homage to the great Apostle Paul who established churches throughout Asia Minor and trained leaders to follow the biblical precepts of Christ. We thank the apostle for teaching the Roman church the doctrines of salvation, justification, adoption, regeneration, and sanctification! We thank him for his inspired teachings to the church at Corinth on Christian unity, Christian maturation, Christian behavior, and the very source of our Christian faith in the undisputed resurrection of Jesus Christ! And, we could go on and on!

 

What tremendous justification and purpose we have for providing sound biblical instruction through carefully structured, highly deliberate, Christian Education programs of study.
