Mission Statement

The mission of the Christian Education Ministry is to provide educational opportunities to help members become deeply devoted and obedient followers of Jesus and to use their gifts to build and bless others. The Christian Education Ministry’s vision is to do more than put together classes that merely educate the mind. We hope to have a program that touches the heart and encourages each member to grow in relationship with Christ and develop as active disciples for Him. The Christian Education Ministry serves to help orchestrate all of the learning opportunities in the life of our Church. Through the coordination of all venues of teaching, we remain focused and organized so that all efforts for Christian Education are maximized. Our desire is to be as efficient as possible while we deliver learning opportunities to our congregation.
