What is the main purpose of your ministry?

The purpose of this ministry is to provide opportunities for Trinity members and friends of the church to deepen their understanding of their faith in God. Secondarily, to challenge you and support you as you take the next steps on your journey towards discipleship.

Who are the members involved in your ministry?

Kathy Drexler is the chairperson of Adult Christian Education. She has been working with Pastor Mpoyo. Bob Coulter has recently stepped forward to lead a Bible study. We are in conversations with Trinity members about additional offerings. We welcome anyone willing to step forward to help us on our faith journeys.

What is a recent project you worked on with your ministry?

Our recent project is the addition of a Bible study on the book of Romans. Over the summer Bob Coulter and Pastor Mpoyo worked with Kathy Drexler to create a new format for this educational offering. Bob Coulter has spent years educating himself on the Bible by watching 30 minute Les Feldick videos, daily. On Monday’s at 1:00p.m. we have 14 Trinity folks coming to church to watch a 30 minute Les Feldick video on the book of Romans. Then the group spends 30 minutes discussing what we just heard. The class is informal and well received. It is a great way to take your first step into a Bible study. New classmates are welcome to join us at any time.

What do you need from TMC to be more successful as a ministry?

We need more people who are willing to participate in educational opportunities. Taking your first Bible study or Adult Sunday School class can be real intimidating. Please know that you will not be pressured to speak during any of our Trinity educational offerings. We respect the fact that everyone learns in different ways. Our goal is to provide opportunities for you to strengthen your faith and grow closer to God. Don’t let fear prevent you from taking those first steps. There is such joy in developing a closer relationship with God.

What are your goals for your ministry?

We have a lofty goal for adult Christian education. Our goal is that every adult worshiping at Trinity is 100% certain that they will spend eternity with our Lord Jesus Christ in heaven at the end of their earthly life.

How can members become involved in your ministry?

You can become involved in this ministry in a number of ways:

A. Sign up for any of our offerings.

B. Sign up for Adult Sunday School from 10:30 a.m. – 11:25 a.m., hopefully starting in October. We would like at least 6 people interested in studying how to become a disciple.

C. The Catechism of Christian Faith and Doctrine for The Global Methodist Church will be distributed in October. You will find your family copy in the quarterly financial statement. Please read and study your copy of the catechism. Pastor Mulongo is willing to offer a short class, later in the fall, to answer catechism questions.
