**************************
The mission of the Emmanuel Baptist Church Christian Education Ministry is to educate, train, and equip members biblically, theologically, culturally and afro-centrically to do ministry in the community, and the world.
The Christian Education Ministry supports all Ministries of the church and we serve as a resource of assistance for all programs of the church. We work with the Pastor to carry out the yearly theme of the church as well as sponsor the Church Calendar, the Leadership Retreat, the Graduates Program, MAAFA, Christian Convocation and Frank Lennon Congress of Christian Education Training Institute.
