Children's Ministry

• CHM 121 Foundations of Children's Ministry

  This course is an introduction to the world of children and an invitation for personal involvement in child evangelism through relationships with those who are "precious in God's sight." Topics focus on the importance of understanding children, how they are designed, their needs, and their value. Students have the opportunity to develop a personal philosophy of ministry to children.

• CHM 321 Spiritual Formation of Children

  This course is intended to develop an awareness that children are able to grow spiritually and of the impact this early growth has on adult life. The issues of childhood moral development, psychological development, cognitive development, and the part these play in a child's ability to grasp biblical concepts is explored. The role of a child's age on his/her spiritual growth is also discussed. Students develop an approach to encouraging spiritual awakening and growth in children of all ages.
