CHRISTIAN EDUCATION COUNCIL


CHRISTIAN EDUCATION COUNCIL

 

Our Christian Education program includes Youth Ministry (K-8th & Senior High Fellowships), Confirmation, Sunday School, Vacation Bible School and educational opportunities for adults.  The primary goal is to help our congregation to develop a deeper understanding of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.  It is essential to the health of a church that it be able to pass on to the next generation its faith in Jesus Christ and that it enable its adults to mature in their relationship to Christ as His ambassadors to the world.  It is our purpose to be faithful to the apostolic tradition we have received in the New Testament.  The Old and New Testaments stand as the ultimate authority for our life of faith.

Youth Ministry

Do you have a love for Jesus Christ and a love for kids?  Do you enjoy spending time with them and can you share the gospel with them in terms they can understand?  As important as any of the above:  Do you have a sense of humor?  If you answered yes, you most likely have the gift of working with young people.
