Christian Education

When people think of Christian Education at FBC, we want them to feel that it:

• is open to the whole diversity of God's children as participants, potential leaders, and decision-makers.
• is Bible-based for content.
• emphasizes grace.
• is dialog/interactive-oriented.
• is relevant to daily life and current events.
• promotes sharing of personal spiritual development.
• is open to intergenerational programs.
• is attractive, appealing, and engaging.
• clearly communicates CE schedules and opportunities.
• is well organized.
• supports growth numerically and spiritually.

We want to get that way by doing some special things; among them:

• offer a comprehensive educational program for persons from birth to older age.
• enhance our children's learning and recreation programs.
• improve communication throughout the congregation regarding our Sunday School ministry.
• seek to provide new study opportunities.
• provide semi-annual development opportunities to Christian Education faculty and leaders.
• seek to determine constituents' needs and offer educational opportunities based upon those needs.
• utilize a wide range of methods to provide Christian Education.
• design educational ministries for those both within and beyond our present congregation.
