Additional information

Director of Christian Education Program and Degree Overview

A DCE is a lifespan ("cradle to grave") Christian educator who typically works in a church as part of the congregation's ministry team with pastors, other staff members, and volunteers.

Depending upon a DCE's unique talents, skills, interests, and experience, he or she might lead a church's parish education program, children’s ministry, youth ministry, small group ministry, young adult ministry, family ministry, or music ministry. DCE students at CUC have many opportunities to explore and discover how God can use them to serve in His Church.
