Caring, Seeking, and Sharing - In Christ

Youth Ministries

The Christian Education elders oversee the youth programs for our church.  The mission of the Christian Education Team is to bring children and their families to God. "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it"; Proverbs 22:6 guides us as we continually work to motivate children to participate in Christian Education opportunities, and enlist the help of adults to provide these activities. It is through a variety of teaching and mentoring opportunities that adults also experience learning. 

The activities of this group include a very successful Vacation Bible School, Little Learners Academy Preschool, vibrant and energetic youth groups for elementary, junior high, and senior high students, Sunday School, and a multitude of other programming geared primarily to our youth.
 
The challenges of this group involve broadening the focus of Christian Education from Sunday morning to throughout the week.
