What Makes a Different in Students' Faith Development

The establishment of an authentic faith in God by both staff and students is viewed as essential to the mission and purpose of Christian Education. While much has been written in this area, there is arguably the need for a greater understanding from the perspective of students themselves. What is it that students say makes the most significant difference in their choice to engage in a faith journey? A research project running over the past few years within the South Pacific Division has been seeking answers to this question. This presentation will share some of the highlights from the research to-date.
