| The aim of the Christian
Education Programme Gloucester Street is to –
|
| 1. |
Teach
to win people to the Kingdom of God. |
| 2. |
Nurture and develop
individuals in the word of God and
the practicalities of life. |
| 3. |
Work closely with
the Pastor of the Church to fulfil
the Church’s’ overall
purpose. |

| There are currently 9
classes in operation covering from the ages of
2 years upwards. It is important to stress the
programme is not just for children but it is very
relevant and necessary for adults to.
Classes are structured
according to age groups. There is also a Cradle
Roll Department in operation catering for children
from birth to the age of 2 years old. This department
aims to support mothers from the birth of their
child until the age of 2 when they are passed
on to the Children’s Church Ministry.

| |
| During the course
of each year we conduct two annual activities
– |
| |
| 1. |
A Day Trip |
| 2. |
Christmas Party |
|

the Notices and Events page for details of further

A
minimum of 4 written reports are provided
each year outlining the programmes plans,
evaluating progress, celebrating success
and ceasing the opportunities to further
develop the Ministry. Periodic teachers
meetings are held and this year the
programme hosted a weeks teaching on
the ‘End Times’ by Reverend
Carl Smith. This was a great blessing
and success, encouraging us to study
the word of God more avidly in this
current time.
Administratively,
all three leaders work together to ensure
all aspects of the programme are covered.
Our purpose is to help support parents
and the community we are a part of.
We are taught in Proverbs 20:6 to train
the child in the way he should go …
Namely, teach children the morals and
values of life that will enable them
to be responsible adults and up standing
individuals in our community. Long term
these values and principles will be
passed on to their children and their
children’s’ children. |
 |
| The values we hold
teach against stealing, smoking, abusive
behaviour and language, also vandalism
to name but a few. However, we do support
and teach good morals, encouraging high
standards of behaviour such as respecting
the elderly and valuing others within
our society. Thus supporting and following
the commandment given to the Children
of Israel in Deuteronomy 6:7 |

Bless you all and we hope to see you soon! |
