Adult Education
Mission: To increase adults’ knowledge
of God’s Word and their ability to apply Scripture to every
area of their lives and ministries.
“Do your best to present yourself
to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed
and who correctly handles the word of truth.” II Timothy
2:15
NPC is very blessed to have in its
midst several gifted teachers. Every adult is welcomed and
encouraged to participate in our adult education ministry, currently
during our Sunday school hour. The ultimate goal
of this ministry is “to equip the saints for the work of ministry,
so that the Body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity
in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature,
attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ” Ephesians
4:12-13
