This year’s theme: Making Disciples of Jesus Christ,
Christian Education is Life-long
The purpose of Christian Education:
“Growing spiritually is an exciting adventure. As individual and
as communities, we change, we are renewed, and we share in
renewing God’s creation every day. As Christians who claim life
in the power of the Holy Spirit, we live and rejoice in what
God already has done, what God is doing, and what God wants
for us. Spiritual growth is a lifelong process, and spiritual disciplines
are the means by which we continue that process.”
