Adult Christian Education (ACE)
Sherry Vineyard, Coordinator
Christian Ministry covers program and book selection for professional and lay leaders in the areas of Christian education, discipleship, counseling, and church administration.
The Adult Education segment of Adult Ministries is about Information, Formation, and Transformation.
- Information consists of Christian Education
Adult Education studies address many topics such as prayer, skills and gifts discernment, financial issues, health issues, and overcoming grief. In addition, matters of Polity - church authority & guidance for action - are addressed throughout the year. - Formation consists of developing our Spiritual discernment and inspiration through Private and Corporate Prayer.
- Private prayer: read, pray, ponder.
- Corporate prayer: praying in church, in congregation, in meetings, with family, at work and play.
- Prayer Education consists of studying what prayer is and what the different types of prayer are, and how to pray effectively. Having a relationship with God is an integral part of out prayer life. Carrying on a conversation with God is what is taking place.
- Transformation through Serving, using our Gifts, and Discipleship consists of tieing it all together using our practical application tools for personal growth and service for our Lord.
