• Discipling How Christians can win others to Christ, help them solidify their faith, and guide them into Spirit-filled living.
• Instructing How church teachers, parents and pastors can creatively teach the truths of the gospel.
• Incorporating How Christian education occurs when the body of Christ (all ages included) worships together: through the sacraments, testimonies, songs, giving offerings, praying for spiritual needs, reading Scripture, the operation of spiritual gifts, and so on.
