Developing Faith In Adventist Schools

^{Adventist Voices by Spectrum: The Journal of the Adventist Forum - 3m 28WhatsAppFacebook}

Listen:

In this conversation, Ben Archer, an Adjunct Research Fellow at Avondale University, shares about his recently published research on faith engagement in schools. In utilizing a scoping review methodology, Archer presents empirical literature related to faith formation activities with children. Activities covered included prayer, worship, chapel, evangelization, retreats and bible studies. His findings highlight that school based programs do not appear to have a specific influence on student faith development. Rather it is teacher student relationships that are the most significant influences in enhancing a student’s faith.
