Christian Education

An introduction from Alisha…

Christian Education is a world of ministry for children, youth and adults. The smiles of children making new discoveries, the energy of youth in a group setting, the sounds of adults in song as God is present in their lives all make for a fascinating ministry. Teaching others to be disciples of Jesus is our mission.

Our teachers, volunteers, parents, caregivers, and mentors are blessed with the most important resource for St. Paul’s ministry; our commitment to love and care for other members of our congregation and community. As a team, our Christian Education area has the job to help fellow Christians on their journey as disciples of Jesus Christ. We are also the advocates of the children and youth who aptly serve during worship and acts of service.

Being appointed the Chairperson of the Education Committee in July 2002 has given me an opportunity to be a leader in our congregation. I love to work with our team to develop positive relationships to further the goal of making disciples to send out to the community and the world. Since I am only one person, I depend on volunteers like you! Have you heard your call to teach and lead others in the Gospel stories or missions of Jesus Christ? This is your opportunity to be involved with our vibrant ministry.

Yours in Christ,

Alisha Cooley, Christian Education Director
