"Learn to Testify Boldly "

Christian Education at St. Andrew's.


      Many adults are frightened at the thought of sharing Jesus with another adult. “I don’t know what to say or where to begin.” But what if you could start by talking to children in a relaxed setting with a plan in front of you and a helper by your side?

One characteristic of disciples is that they Testify Boldly, and this is something we need to practice. We need to claim the gift of Christ and share it with others so that they, too, can know the Risen Lord. In children’s Sunday School and Kids’ Worship, you are given written curriculum that includes a Bible story and an activity that will help the children learn and remember the story and its message for us today.

You will not be alone, because we use team-teaching, and the Holy Spirit is by your side. Many bite-size opportunities in our educational ministry are available. As you share your faith and love with God’s children at St. Andrew’s, you grow spiritually and testify boldly.

If God touches your heart to teach our children sometime during the summer or school year, please call Mary Lee Going, Ann Wallin, or Robert Fitzpatrick.

“Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”
- Exodus 4:12 NIV
