Christian Foundations

Co-ordinator: Carol Blake

Description

Christian Foundations is a distance education program for personal spiritual enrichment. The program is equivalent to one full-time academic year but is completed over a longer time period. For some students, this program may provide the all-important spiritual foundation they are seeking; for others, this program may provide an opportunity for intense study and spiritual development before embarking on another EBC program of study or a career path.

 

Objectives 

The student who completes the program should:

  1. Have a working knowledge of biblical content.
  2. Be able to relate biblical knowledge to life situations.
  3. Understand and be committed to a life of Christian discipleship.
  4. Exhibit growth in spiritual and other practical ways and so be a more positive influence in home, community and church.
  5. Be equipped and motivated for lay ministry.
  6. Understand and be actively supportive of the global interdependence of the Body of Christ.

 

Career Path

Students graduating from this program become more involved in ministry in their local church or church agencies, or move into other programs at Emmanuel or other colleges and universities.  Transfer credits to other schools are awarded at the discretion of the receiving institution.
