The purpose of this article is to explore the structures of educational ministry that empower their roles in transmitting and nurturing Christian faith within the community of faith. This study suggests three ways to improve educational ministry in method of community of faith.
First, religious socialization is an important method of educational ministry. Community of faith method emphasizes more on process rather than the contents in education and hidden curriculum in life. Curriculum is very important part of the planned teaching-learning process. But we have to acknowledge that there are so many unplanned quality of educational experiences in our life. If we deal with Christian lifestyle, educational ministry helps the faith community examine what is needed and develop the hidden curriculum resources for the total life of the congregation.
Second, community of faith is the essence of educational ministry, which is congregational life itself. The community of faith provide God's calling to the world, identity of community of faith, and learning of relationship between God and human beings. Its methods mean service, reflection and communion in the community of faith.
Third, the method of catechsis in faith community is the nurturing pattern of educational ministry. Educators of faith community call this process catechesis, which are all pastoral activities as an intentional religious socialization. For Westerhoff, catechsis is identified with Tertullian's statement, “Christians are made, not born." As a theoretical base, educational ministry divides three aspects of the catechetical process: formation -- to experience Christian faith and life; education -- to reflection experience in the light of the Christian faith; and instruction -- to acquire the knowledge and skills considered necessary and useful to the Christian life. Educational ministry focuses on the role of spiritual formation in the vitality of Christian faith and life.
From this aspect, the Christian nurturing process must be understood within the ways in which feeling, thinking, and acting are at work in the community of faith. Educational ministry need to recognize the total life of the community of faith and to understand the approaches of faith community as broader than schooling. Therefore, contemporary churches must build up the identity of community of faith.
