Overview
GIRE offers continuing education that is open to all religious professionals. Since we are constantly learning, it is our hope that we build short term learning communities that can learn from each other as we study subjects of interest.
Upcoming Course Offerings
This is a 3-part series where participants may choose to participate in one, two or all three sessions.
The first session will explore the birth and growth of religious education as a profession.
The second session will explore the religious educator and its relationship with authority.
The third session will take a peek into what the future holds for religious education as a profession.
Facilitated by Michele Grove, D. Min. Michele is a religious educator who began her career in 1988 as a youth and young adult coordinator. She received her Doctor of Ministry in May 2019 from Wesley Theological Seminary’s Cambridge Program entitled, “Creative Ministry for Church Renewal in a Changing World.” Her project thesis focused on transitional religious education and its role in the twenty-first-century church.
