A Word From Our New Associate Pastor

Christian education is one of the most important ministries in the life of the local church. It is bible study, Sunday school and open dialogue that allow us to explore our faith and discuss God’s word together. For many of us, serious theological inquiry began in facilitated discussions in which we were able to both receive and share.

I was a Sunday School girl! As far back as I can remember either I, or my parents, were involved in church school. Both teaching and attending classes is what expanded our faith. It was there that I learned about the promises of God, was encouraged to live a life of integrity and Christian service, and I was challenged to seek to know the will of God for my life

These are a few, among many, of the things that I hope each of you will continue to gain from Christian education here at Metropolitan as well. I am excited about my new role as the Associate Pastor responsible for Christian education, and I look forward to working together with you to continue the legacy of living the Word… and bringing the bible to life in the lives of others.

For over 20 years I have taught Sunday School and bible study, in addition to leading three different youth groups over the past 15 years. It is amazing to walk alongside others as they grow – that’s what the bible calls discipleship. Discipleship can begin as early as age two and never ends. It’s happening when you hear a toddler singing a song that he or she learned in the church nursery and, if it is nurtured, it continues through out his or her life. I saw it in the classes that I started teaching at age 12. I have seen it in the senior classes that I have taught for retirees. I’ve seen it in each and every youth group that I’ve been blessed to lead, and I have seen it in parents, newlyweds, singles and divorcees. When it comes to sharing God’s word there a place for everyone and Metropolitan is positioned to enhance the faith of Detroiters and metro Detroiters as well. Let’s share together through a Christian Education Department that opens the doors for all to take part. Together, with the Lord’s help, this year we’ll have an exciting start!
