A Christian Education minor is a great opportunity to illustrate diversity within majors that are traditionally applied in a church or mission setting. A music major, for example, who wishes to pursue a vocation as worship leader would have the added benefit of being able to contribute to the educational curriculum of the church organization as well. The CE minor provides a unique understanding of how the organizational leadership and management of daily church administration functions. 94
