School Curriculum Overview

 The curriculum will reflect the three areas of learning: formal, non-formal and informal.  Formal learning will take place in the classroom context through a variety of learning methodologies. Non-formal learning will take place through a variety of class ministry projects and church seminars and conferences that students will be required to attend.   Informal learning will take place though guest ministers and missionaries who frequent the class and share their ministry experience and dialogue with the students.

 LFSOM’s curriculum is based in three domains of ministry learning: understanding (or knowing), spiritual formation, and ministry skills. These three areas are based on Bloom’s taxonomy of learning domains: cognitive, affective, and sensory motor.

 Living Faith’s School of Ministry’s curriculum is seamless in that it is not possible to take a course or a set of courses of only what a student desires. Once a student is in the school, they are required to take the entire school and all of the courses.  The school year is divided into four quarters with each quarter covering three subject areas or learning modules. With a three-year course of study, 36 learning modules will be covered.
