Message from the Head of Department
Welcome to Christian Education Department. Our department exists to equip individuals who will engage in church, Christian organizations and educational institutions for the work of ministry. We offer education that is Christocentric and our target is to prepare people who could disciple others since Christian education is a disciple-making ministry of the church as it is stated in the book of Matthew 28:18-20. Therefore, we train people in the light of the evangelical mission of education with the aim of restoring the image of God in mankind by developing them in all areas as “Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man” (Luke 2:52).
Our courses include Educational Ministries of the Church, Educational Administration, History and Philosophy of Christian Education, Psychology of Education, Curriculum Development, Guidance and Counseling, and Educational Research and Writing.
Our students are exposed to teaching and different methods of teaching right from the classroom. They go for a six-week teaching practice outside the school. They may do their teaching practice in a private or public school of their choice. They will do micro-teaching while taking Principles and Practice of Teaching which is a prerequisite to teaching practice. Before a student is qualified to go for teaching practice, he or she might have registered and passed the course.
You have made the right decision by choosing our department. It is a place where students are thoroughly guided in both academic and spiritual matters. Welcome!
Mrs. S.T. Adeniyi M.Phil.
