St. Andrew’s Christian Education is sharing the good news of Jesus Christ to enable students to have transformation occur within their hearts and minds giving them the tools they need to live a Christian life. All are welcome to be part of, and to connect to, this nurturing and safe environment growing in faith in community together.
St. Andrew’s Christian Education provides meaningful opportunities for all ages to renew their hearts and minds specifically by:
- Explaining the Christian story, the Bible, past and present
- Identifying who God is, and how God is active in our lives
- Developing a close relationship with, and understanding of, Jesus and his ministry
- Explaining and experiencing, the Holy Spirit’s activeness in our lives
- Describing growth of faith development and character formation
- Applying skills to act out our faith
- Composing and experiencing prayer, individually and corporately
- Provide outreach and connect within our church and community
- Demonstrating observable self-learning to continue maturing in scriptural knowledge and application
