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
