In education ministry what we do is in response to
God's gracious love; why we do mirrors Christ's example
and great commission and how we do is not our doing
but the Holy Spirit working through us. All God's children
are called to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ
through life long learning. The central purpose for
Sunday school is to nurture faith and to support each
other as disciples.
Sunday school is only one of many opportunities for
fostering faith that extend from the church to the
home and into the community. Congregation sponsored
learning opportunities are not only for members. Vital
education ministry looks for ways to include the unchurched
and guests in learning and growth. All are welcome,
including those with physical, sensory or cognitive
limitations.
Sunday school is a place for children, youth and adults
to hear the Bible story and to be reminded of our identity
as believers of Jesus Christ. It is a place for us
to sense our belonging as God's children and to grow
in the knowledge of God's love. It is a place where
we use and discover our gifts as we learn how to be
Christian disciples.
