THE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
IN THE CHURCH
Because…
WHY?
![Page 7: Christian Education: An Overview Jan 31, 2015](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55a956a91a28ab536d8b4804/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Goal of Formal
Education in the Church• is to provide intentional learning through training and
nurturing disciples (members) as they face the challenges/issues of the changing world/the church itself and their own selves and develop active participation and improved service in the various ministries created by the church for the benefit not only of the inside but the larger outside community that it can reach as far and wide as possible to which they are called as Christians.
AGAIN, WHY?

From informal gathering of the believers,
Christianity grew. It was
institutionalized. It became an
ORGANIZATION due to its growth in
number and needs where the members
has to be nurtured in order to continue
its existence and develop as Christ
intends it to be.

The source of Curriculum
The Interpretation of our own Faith (the Statement of Faith and Beliefs) for unity of responses and stand in order to develop a strong conviction according to our faith understanding
![Page 17: Christian Education: An Overview Jan 31, 2015](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042701/55a956a91a28ab536d8b4804/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Strong conviction or stand is the
consequence of a well-trained mind
and soul
A well-educated/trained Christian in faith is
courageous to speak up and defend his or
her convictions even if he/she is left all alone
because deep in his heart and mind is the
peace of God that passes all understanding.

A well-educated/nurtured church in terms of faith lessons (increasing in the knowledge of God) is like a tree that bears fruit in every good work (Colossians 1:10)
Unless the church grow and multiply in its various ministries
inside and outside its four walls, it is not really developing in
CE and in its whole purpose as a church. It is simply or
merely maintaining its existence. In quality and quantity, it
should grow if it is truly well-nurtured in lessons of faith
where participation and leadership are shared equally.
