Course Requirements: Children

Audio/Video Ministry

This course is an overview of these departments of ministry with emphasis upon how to operate an efficient program, what equipment to buy, how to design a sound system that best meets your needs, etc. These are very valuable ministries which every church will need to establish.


The Heart of the Pastor

This is a survey of the book of I Thessalonians 1-3, focusing on what those chapters reveal about the establishing of this strong body of believers. This study will also teach much about the heart of Paul in regard to his “pastoral” care and ministry to the local church.


Children's Ministry Intership 1

This course focuses on the Nursery program. This is one of the most necessary and vital programs in any local church. You will learn how to plan lessons that will minister to children in this age group, and the “how-to’s” of establishing and operating a successful Nursery program.


Children's Ministry Internship 2

This course will give an overview of the Preschool program. You will learn how to write preschool curriculum, make preschool crafts, and learn what is done behind the scenes.


Principles of Teaching

This is an exciting and fascinating video series: Teaching with Style. Produced by the renowned Walk through The Bible organization, it is absolutely the most useful and practical course on “teaching” that I have ever studied from. Based simply upon the principle that we have not taught if our students have not learned, it will challenge, encourage, instruct, and impact you. If your call of ministry includes teaching, you need to study this course.


Local Church Ministries

The basics of starting an Adult Education program, developing a dynamic teaching staff, member care through the Sunday School Program, and community outreach will be taught. This course teaches the practical procedures developed and applied at Grace Church.


Patterns of Godliness

This inspirational and instructional class is designed to exhort the students to live a dedicated and godly life by using numerous Bible personalities as our examples. The instructor will lead you into a study of both well-known and obscure individuals, revealing the principles we can learn from their lives. These classes will also familiarize you with the basics of the study of “types, shadows, and symbols” in both the Old and New Testaments.


The Glory of Grace

There is no greater doctrine revealed in the Word of God than that of God’s grace. This course will focus on that doctrine, building on the material taught in Sound Doctrine. Grace is the foundation of our salvation, our faith, our sanctification, our assurance, and our security.
