Train up a child in the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 (ESV)
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
Immanuel Christian Education Offerings
Elizabeth Brown, Director of Christian Formation
We believe Christian Education's purpose is to nurture our faith ...
* through Bible study and prayer — by providing quality instruction and curriculum.
* through fellowship with others — by creating events that include all generations.
* through building a caring community — by providing service projects and field trips.
