Adult Education:

The Adult Christian Education Ministry strives to provide meaningful study opportunities, adventures, and encouragement so that those who come among us can develop the disciplines to make spiritual growth and discipleship a life-long process. The goals of the ministry are to:

· Provide studies that help people increase their commitment to Christ and his church from membership to maturity, ministry and missions; that help people grow from knowing Christ, to growing in, serving, and sharing Christ.

· Promote community in the church by establishing purposeful small groups that evangelize seeking people, support people with special needs, provide service project opportunities for our people, and train and equip our people for discipleship.

· Remain mindful that people are at different places in their faith journey, and come from a diversity of religious backgrounds and experiences.
