Christian Education
Christian education is defined as a Bible-based, Holy Spirit-empowered (Christ-centered) teaching–learning process. It seeks to guide individuals at all levels of growth through contemporary teaching means toward knowing and experiencing God’s purpose and plan through Christ in every aspect of living. It also equips people for effective ministry, with the overall focus on Christ the Master Educator’s example and his command to make disciples.
Objectives
i) To educate and train the congregation on effective stewardship, resource mobilization and spiritual growth for the members.
ii) To organize education seminars on education programs e.g. PP1 and guidance and counseling for schools within their jurisdiction.
iii) To advise the church, respective courts and congregation on matters pertaining education.
iv) Organize seminars for students and parents on education trends, school selections and career choice and any other topic of interest within and without.
v) To advise the church on all matters concerning education in both church and public schools.
vi) Pay particular attention to the provision of pastoral instruction and general spiritual care in schools within the area of the jurisdiction of the parish.
vii) Seek to understand current education policies, Acts and reports of commissions with a view of providing the church with information and guidance on the same.
viii) Organize training programmes such as seminars for church members.
Evangelism
The commissioning and the sending of the disciples of Jesus, sets the authority and the framework of all disciples thereafter who go out in His Name as He commands; “GO YE therefore and TEACH all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo! I am with you always even to the end of the world; Amen” (Matthew 28: 19-20).
It is in conformity and in the emphasis on the “GOING OUT” that PCEA Kasarani, like any other Presbyterian Church of East Africa Congregation has the Evangelism Department. The above command is evidenced by the words of St. Paul to the Romans; “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? How shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach except they be sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things” (Romans 10: 13-15).
