The
vision of the Indiana-Kentucky Synod - Every member a missionary - Every
pastor a mission director, Every congregation a mission center -- affirms
the basic need for and the purpose of Christian Education in our congregations:
faith formation and discipleship training.
"Train
children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray." (Proverbs
22:6)
The
"Ed.Network" is a newsletter included with this synodical publication
and future publications aimed at being a resource specifically for Christian Education
staff. Please make copies and distribute to the appropriate people in your congregation.
Contributions from congregations to this regular publication are always welcome
by contacting one of our team members.
May
God be glorified and the Body of Christ
be built up through our efforts together.
