This course in Presbyterian polity, program, and mission will integrate the study of the Presbyterian Constitution (Book of Confessions and Book of Order) and Program and Mission of the PC(USA) into the context of the educator. Scripture, polity, and the structure, mission and program of the PC(USA) provides the content for this certification course. Critical examination, guided exploration, and careful integration of those key resources provides educators an opportunity to draw upon the richness of the Presbyterian tradition as they take leadership roles in their congregations and ministries. The course provides opportunities for educators to explore how the polity, program, and mission of the PC(USA) will impact, guide, and influence their ministry in a Presbyterian congregation, governing body, or related context.
