INTEGRATION OF FAITH & LEARNING

In Matthew 4:18-22, Jesus calls Peter, Andrew, James and John to follow Him. I pray that each one of you has a specific calling by God to enter the world of film and television. Like Jesus’ disciples, we have been given the opportunity to drop our worldly pursuits and follow God. During this semester students will learn to produce top quality content while working graciously with one another in the stressful environment of live studio televison (Colossians 3:12, 17). This class will be taught through a biblical worldview for the purpose of training students to create top quality productions for God’s glory.
