Christian education is an important part of a church's ministry.

When Christian education is given priority, both the individuals and the church benefits in many ways.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you" Matthew 28:19-20

What can Christian Education do for the Church?

1.  Provides opportunities for evangelistic outreach.  At the heart of Christian Education is the attempt to bring individuals to a saving knowledge of Jesus as Savior and Lord of those who put their trust in Him.

2.  Strengthens the believers.  Discipleship of the believer is a fundamental aspect of the focus and various programs of Christian Education.

3.  Builds the church and its leadership.  Where believers are discipled, the church as a whole will be strengthened.

4.  Establishes the church's beliefs and practices.  The beliefs and practices of the church should be included in the delivery of Christian Education in the church and care should be taken that these are effectively taught.
