Adult Education Survey -- Please complete this form at the end of each study event which is NOT a regular Sunday School class. The goal of the Church School program at Newark United Methodist Church is clear: to teach of God's love for each child and to show them how to live as God's people. One Christian education leader explains, "We help families to get the faith perspective on how to deal with today's life. We're in the midst of a consumerist age, but we stress things like reaching out to other people, instead of thinking about what we're going to get. We teach Christian community--the Christ-like life." In addition to sharing Bible stories and the history of Methodism, the children participate in service projects that support our community and outreach programs. Special events are sponsored by the Christian Education Team throughout the year. In June, students who have completed second grade are given Bibles because United Methodists believe everyone should have access to the Word of God. Advent and Lent are celebrated as a church family, and each summer our Vacation Bible School has activities for children and adults alike. Adult Sunday School classes challenge participants to learn and grow in knowledge and experience of God through Jesus Christ, claim and live God's promises, and serve as Christian disciples. Additionally, Newark UMC offers both long- and short-term courses and study groups for adults on weekdays, weeknights, and Sunday evenings. |
