CHRISTIAN EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
Associate Professors MARTHA S. Hooker, MARGARET BAILEY JACOBSEN (acting head); Assistant Professors THELMA M. BAIN, ELIZABETH McCULLOUGH. Objective. The objective of this department is to give the necessary undergraduate training for church secretaries and visitors, children's workers, youth leaders, released time teachers, and pastors' assistants in Christian education in America and on the foreign field. Students planning for the foreign field need an adequate background in Chris tian education. Because much of the missionary's work involves the building of an indigenous church through the training of native leaders, the modern evangelical missionary must be prepared to establish educational institutions to carry on under native leadership. Those interested in Christian education as an avocation are trained to work in the educational program of the local church as Bible teachers, Sunday School superintendents, club leaders, youth sponsors, conference leaders, and to do similar work outside the church. Students completing a major in Christian Education will receive the certificate of the Evangelical Teacher Training Association. Requirements for a Major in Christian Education.
