CHRISTIAN EDUCATIONChristian Education involves those tasks and expressions of ministry that enable people (1) go learn the Christian story, both ancient and present; (2) to develop the skills they need to act out their faith; (3) to reflect on that story in order to live self-aware to its truth; and (4) to nurture the sensitivities they need to live together as a covenant community.
Quote from Daniel Aleshire in “Basics of Christian Education:”
DISCIPLESHIPThe Greek means”learner-follower.”
Discipleship is all about living a life connected to God through Christ and to all of God’s children.
