• ‘Equip, Grow, Go’ (EGG)

This ministry is focused on feeding God’s lambs and sheep (John 21:15 – 17). We need to know God’s heart in order to be Christ’s ambassadors to reconcile people to God. (2Cor. 5:18-20)

1. Equip:
   The Bible is our authority and source of what is taught in knowledge, skills and attitude to enable believers to grow holistically. Equipping can be conducted at various levels; informal one-to-one, group interaction and formal structured classes.
2. Grow:
   The knowledge taught from the Bible will be supported with practical skills of reading God’s Word, prayer, worship, giving to God, joining activities involving God’s family and to find our place of service in His local church and to be part of the vision of the local church. These practical activities encourage healthy growth.
3. Go:
   Winning souls is our responsibility for God has given us His new life so that we may pass this life to others. Believers will learn skills of reaching out to our community to share the good news of Jesus Christ. By this we will fulfil God’s desire for us; to love God with all of our hearts, soul, mind and strength (Matthew 22:37) and to ‘love our neighbour as ourselves’ (Luke 10:27).

•  Discipling

Christian Education Ministry works closely with the various ministries in the church to develop discipling material for the systematic growth of believers from the very young as in Children’s Church to Youths, to Young Adults and the adult church members; including the new believers and growing believers of the church. The aim is to lay strong biblical foundations and to grow the believers in Christian character to withstand the enticement of compromise and falsehood.

The commands of Jesus still guides the discipling efforts; ‘teaching them to obey all the commands that Christ has given us.’ (Matt. 28:20)
