Jesus said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you." What does it mean to be a disciple
of Christ? At First Church we believe that being a disciple means living the life that Jesus calls us to live, a life that works to make God's kingdom come and God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. To do this we have to understand who Jesus Christ is, who the God is that he calls "Daddy", what our relationship is to this God, and how this effects our relationships to each other. The answers may sound simple..."while we were sinners Christ died for us," "God is Love," "Love one another as I have loved you," but they take a lifetime to understand and to live out. Join us as we seek to grow up into the image of Christ and follow the exhortation of his premier apostle, Paul, who wrote, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect." This is the goal of Adult Education at First Church, personal transformation. To accomplish this we offer traditional Sunday School Classes, Short Term Studies, 9-month Long Term Studies in Discipleship and an on-line Bible study accessible all year round. All are designed to help you understand Christ's calling to you. Check out the menu at the top left of this page for details about these programs or call the Christian Education Office at (214) 220-2727 extension 224. We want to help you grow and understand. Yours in Christ, Tom Downing |
