Our Vision

We envision ourselves as being less self-centered and more purpose driven in accordance with the life Jesus Christ lived. It is our hope that we will love God completely and our neighbors as ourselves. We will humble ourselves and put God and others first. We will be good news to the poor, pardon the prisoners, recover and heal the sick, and set free those who are heavy laden.

 

 Mission

We seek to make disciples by welcoming the people intoe the body of Christ and by encouraging and leading them to commit their lives to God through the life-style examples of Jesus Christ.

 

 Goals and Objectives
Christian Education will:
Nurture people in Christian living through various educational opportunities.
Invite and send people to live lovingly and justly as servants of Jesus Christ in the world.
Transform people so that they come to know and experience God through Jesus Christ

Motivate people in a manner that they will claim and live out God's promises and be committed to serve as Christian disciples.

 

 Purpose

The purpose of Christian Education is to welcome one another in the name of Jesus Christ, to experience together the transforming power of God's presence, and to discover ways and means to respond to God's invitation to be his people in the world.

As we study, pray, and worship together in our classes, let us be led into a deeper commitment to live as Christ's disciples.
