"After 10 years of experience as minister of ACCE, and some 30 years before that (all in the ministry of Christian education), I am beginning to see the tremendous potential of this dimension of adult education in the local church. I have seen ACCE strengthen all other phases of a church's program of work and worship. This has happened in dozens of churches, mainly in the Northwest where ACCE work has reached, from northern California to British Columbia as well as in a few other places where the idea has caught on." from Gospel Advocate 132:8(August 1990): 24 - 25.
Dr. Bill Patterson's teachings are Christ-center, Bible-based, teacher-friendly and student-oriented. Both teacher and student are led by the linear programmed text to engage in self-evaluation with the aid of written performance objectives which, in turn, prepares them to engage one another in sharing insights in God's Word.
