The purpose of the Christian Education ministry is to direct the development of a wholistic educational program that helps people of all ages grow in their faith and understanding of the Bible. At a minimum, the following ministries are to be represented on the Christian Education Ministry Team (CEMT): Sunday School, Bible Study, children, and youth.
The Christian Education Ministry Director organizes or causes to be organized the “Classroom” and has general supervision of the same. He/she works cooperatively with all chairs and presidents to arrange seminars/workshops, prepares an annual budget, and does other assignments as determined by the senior pastor.
The CEMT also encourages children/youth in academic excellence and other noteworthy accomplishments. Tutoring is provided as needed. Scholastic achievement is monitored throughout the school year, and students are recognized for noteworthy honors at the end of each school year. This includes scholarship awards, Fruit of the Spirit Awards, Christian Character Awards, sportsmanship awards, student of the month awards, etc.
The purpose of Children’ Church is to provide worship experiences for children (Grades 1-5) on a level that will deepen their understanding of God’s Word and to prepare children to assimilate into the regular Sunday morning worship service upon graduating from the Children’s Church (CC).
The purpose of the youth bible study ministry is to teach youth on a level that is comparable to their stage in life. It is to teach them the biblical truths that address their modern-day dilemmas. Further, it is to help them live holy lifestyles and learn how to witness to their peers.
The purpose of Vacation Bible School (VBS) is to reach people of all ages, leading them to know and respond to Jesus Christ as led by the Holy Spirit. VBS is a fun-filled, spiritual adventure that provides concentrated Bible study and encourages real-life application.
