Theology Teacher

Description

Bishop Montgomery is seeking a qualified teacher who can teach 9th – 12th grade Theology courses. Qualified teachers must possess a teaching credential or Religious certification, have experience in classroom management, and 3 years preferred teaching experience in Theology.

The Paschal Mystery (Fall)

This course is a study of the Paschal Mystery of Christ using the Old Testament as the background for understanding the way the early Church came to interpret Jesus’ death and Resurrection. Building on this foundation the identity of Christ and Christ’s revelation of God and human beings will also be examined.

Jesus Christ’s Mission Continues in the Church (Spring)

This course builds on the previous one by studying the identity and characteristics of being Church. As the early Church came to understand the identity of Christ Jesus they also came to understand that Church is the Body of Christ. Examining the Marks of the Church will give us further insights into how the Church grew to express the identity of Christ in worship and Church Councils. Emphasis will be placed on how we live as Church in our world today.

Sacraments as Encounters with Jesus Christ (Fall)

The purpose of this course is to introduce the students to the incarnational nature of sacramental spirituality as encountering Christ in all of creation especially through the seven sacraments. The students will be encouraged to identify Christ’s participation in their life journey focusing on the invitation that each sacrament offers to participate fully in God’s covenantal relationship.

Moral Life in Jesus Christ (Spring)

The purpose of this course is to help students understand Christian ethics as found in the teaching of the Beatitudes and God’s commands. Students will understand that moral precepts govern one’s life through the use of reason and conscience, and that the exercise of free-will led by faith results in freedom and happiness.
