The Adult Education Ministry Team

The Mission of the Adult Education Ministry Team is to nurture and educate all people in the scriptures, creeds and precepts of the Christian faith so they can apply the Word of God to their daily lives.

To accomplish this Mission, the Adult Education Ministry Team is committed to the following:

• To pray regularly, both individually and corporately, seeking God’s will and desire for educational programs that will help those in our congregation and our community;
• To train teachers and assistants who are prepared for teaching the Word;
• To work together with the Children and Youth Education Ministry Team to develop church-wide programs that complement one another in theme, purpose and effectiveness;
• To plan special studies and courses, with guidance from the Director of Christian Education, to meet the specific needs of all adults;
• To ensure that all persons have an opportunity to learn more about God on their own by providing resources—such as books, tapes, recordings, videos, CD’s and DVD’s—that can be used at home;
• To review and order curricular materials that are appropriate for our needs and interests at Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church;
• To strive for excellence in all areas of Christian education, especially in teaching and showing other how God can transform us from ordinary people into extraordinary servants.

Membership in the Adult Education Ministry Team will include the presiding elder, the Director of Christian Education, the moderator and vice moderator of Presbyterian Women, the leader of the Men’s Prayer Breakfast, the leader(s) of the Small Groups, the leader(s) of the ad-hoc Summit Vision Team, the Scholarship Committee, all adult Sunday School teachers and/or assistants, and other interested members of the congregation at-large.
