What is a Christian Educator?
"Christian educators are persons called by God to a ministry of education who demonstrate their faith in and love for Jesus Christ, are dedicated to the life of faith and are serious in purpose, honest in character, and joyful in service. . . It is expected that Christian educators be persons with skills and training in biblical interpretation, Reformed theology, human development, religious education theory and practice, and the polity, programs, and mission of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). They should be encouraged by their session and presbytery to meet, or prepare to meet, the accrediting requirements defined in [G-14.0720]." Book of Order G-14.0710 and G.14-0711.
These pages are for Educators, Christian Education Committees,
Certification Advisors, presbyteries, others interested in educators
and/or certification." Christian educators are persons called
to and employed in the ministry of education in a particular church,
churches or governing bodies.
