Teacher Education Department

During my time in the program, I grew in many ways. I was able to develop in my understanding of who children are and what they ultimately need. I was challenged to write lessons that were relevant and thought provoking. And I was encouraged to strive to do all I could to show the love of Christ to my students, even in a place where His name is not accepted. This program gave me a solid foundation for who I should be as a teacher and a servant of Him."

“Music is a God-given vehicle through which we are able to express those thoughts and meditations of our hearts that cannot be thoroughly expressed through words alone. The Music Ministry program at Emmaus has helped me realize that this vehicle is not to be taken lightly and that it should be used for the sole purpose of pleasing and honoring our Heavenly Father!”
