Teaching Award
About the Award
The perfect model of the ultimate teacher is our Lord Jesus Christ. As a content expert who used creative pedagogy to challenge his students, he was called by God to the ministry of teaching, and to live out the authentic revelation of Almighty God in his work as Master Teacher. Christ did the work of transformational, life-changing teaching. First and foremost, the CBFA teaching award honors this model of Christ as teacher, transformer.
The CBFA Teaching Award was established by the Christian Business Faculty Association to perpetuate Christ-like teaching and to recognize Christian business faculty members who emulate the character, engagement, and calling of Christ to the work and ministry of transformational education.
