PREPARING CHRISTIAN EDUCATORS

 

FOR ALL DENOMINATIONS: 

B.R,E, B.Th., or B.A. in Christian Education
(Bachelor of Religious Education, Bachelor of Theology, Bachelor of Arts)


(title of degree optional; same program)

THE FOUR PRELIMINARY REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS PROGRAM ARE:
  

1. Ministerial credentials or evidence of being under church authority.
   2. A high-school diploma or GED. Your work experience and existing knowledge may help qualify you.
   3. Evidence of scriptural knowledge and belief.
   4. A firm personal belief that you have been called and gifted for this vocation.

Although this program is thoroughly Christian-based, it embraces a variety of Christian and other belief systems; e.g., Anglican, Catholic, Orthodox, Jewish, Protestant, Eastern religions, etc. A cursory awareness of what types of faith are being obeyed throughout the world gives an awareness that is required in a diverse society. As teachers of Christianity, we must meet people, young or old, where they are and therefore must have at least some understanding of their position. Such familiarity also aids our important work of evangelism.

Our program is meant to prepare the Christian educator to present our Savior convincingly and with the essential knowledge base to appeal to people of all age groups and backgrounds.

Unless otherwise stated, it is suggested that students buy their textbooks on their own from such discount sources as Amazon.com. The content of the selected texts can be examined at this and other websites.

THE PROGRAM

 THE PROGRAM (Tuition is $500 plus the books, which you purchase on your own. The application fee is $45, refundable if you are not accepted.) The program is composed of the following parts:

1. Completion of a chapter-by-chapter questionnaire for each of the following texts:

 

Israel's Bible Bloc by Dennis "Avi" Lipkin (Order directly from website: www.vicmord.com.) 
This book will alert you to the urgent end-time necessity for a Judeo-Christian pact of mutual love that must achieve recognition by the central government of Israel for the safety of the entire world. It is written by a man who lives and works in the nerve centers of present world events, and his knowledge is thus first-hand. Every American, every Christian, and every Jew must become aware of the facts bearing down on the world's very survival.
