What We Do ~ Education Ministry

Board of Christian Education

The Board of Christian Education is responsible for the Christian education of all age groups in the congregation. We offer many choices and all are welcome. We have a nursery and a toddler room for up to age three. Age three to third grade attend children's church after children's time in church until the choir director has music time with them at 10:30. After the service and fellowship Sunday school for all ages begins. The adults usually have three choices: two bible studies (one from a life-application approach, the other from a historical-critical perspective) and a speaker's forum (a different guest speaker each week). The teens return in the early evening with our Youth Minister. We also have many opportunities during the week for classes and activities.

Forum

We believe concerned Christians should listen, ask questions, and discuss issues that concern our community and the world. We hope to provide a forum to do that. We welcome guest speakers to join us over coffee each week for lively discussions on current events, the arts, local history and politics, and many other topics.
