JustFaith Christian Leadership Program will
prepare undergraduates as Christian leaders who are theologically
informed and spiritually transformed. The program includes students
with majors across the SU curriculum. Using a cohort approach in
the classroom, covenant groups and mission field learning, JustFaith
creates a sustained Christian community of head, heart and hands.
In the fall of 2008, the first cohort of around 12 students will
begin their three-year journey with a course entitled, "Mission
and the Global Context of Christian leadership." Each student will
have a mentor who is a seasoned Christian leader to accompany them
on their journey.
JustFaith is a program of formation. It will employ the best of
critical thinking and intellectual freedom. As a result, students
will be prepared for a variety of vocations and for Christian leadership
in the church and world. With an approach that combines knowing,
doing and being through experiential learning, JustFaith will produce
the church's next great leaders.
Major in the Field of Your Choice. Graduate with a certificate
in Christian Leadership.
The curricular component involves six Religion courses (one each
semester), which will fulfill requirements for a minor in Religion.
In addition to curricular requirements, students in the cohort will
be part of a covenant group, have a professional and spiritual mentor,
and participate in service and/or ministry activities.
