Course RequirementsELEMENTARYGeneral Certificate of Christian Education(GCCE)This is ideally suited for Sunday School Teachers and Youth Leaders and others who hold responsible offices in the local church. The course is designed to ensure that church officials have the basic understanding of both the theology and the responsibility that the task to which they have been called entails. This may be seen as an aid to the pastors teaching ministry. This course does not in any way claim that they are qualified for the work, but simply that they have reached a certain degree of academic understanding. This principle applies to all courses.
