When it comes to your adult education ministries, sometimes it's just as important to help your congregation understand why you offer educational opportunities for adults as it is to advertise what your congregation is doing.

Here's a quick little blurb I have used in a church newsletter for this purpose. (Unfortunately, I no longer have a note that indicates whether I originally wrote it or whether I borrowed/adapted it from somewhere. If you recognize it, please let me know so I may give credit where it's due!) This pretty succinctly states what I believe to be true about adult educational ministries. I encourage you to write your own statement which fits your own congregation and your vision for Christian education.

Be an Adult Lifetime Learner—
Come to Sunday School

For adult learners
    the business
    of learning
    is not business
    as usual.


Lifelong Learning is about…
    Our quest for self
    Our desire to make meaning
    Our desire to construct
        knowledge
    Our passion for life
    Liberating ourselves in order
        to “live out loud”
    Living our lives in the
        service of our highest
        aspirations.

Lifelong Learning is a process,
    not an event.


Don’t park your heart
    and soul at the door
    and just bring in your
    head.)

~ Tim Gossett
