Christian Education Ministry

Christian Education is designed to help believers prepare for their walk of faith and obedience. This department of Christian Education is committed to all age levels of teaching ministry. Courses and seminars are designed to equip our disciples (members) to fulfill the ministry of Jesus Christ in the world. The goal of this department of Christian Education is to present those elements of discipleship that leads the equipping of the saints and the development of a practical plan of discipleship where members have an opportunity to be engaged in prayer, study, worship, and life-long learning, seeking to carry out the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ.
