“Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.”
Purpose
The True Jesus Church offers a structured Religious Education program for children in grades K through 12 to teach them the word of God and the application to Christian living. The goals of the program are:
- Impart spiritual knowledge to the students, and build up the pure faith within them. (2 Tim 3:15; Col 3:16)
- Guide students toward Christ-like behavior, and teach them to live a Christian way of life. (Prov 22:6; Mt 5:14-16)
- Guide students to pray for the power of the Holy Spirit and to serve in the kingdom of God. (Gal 5:22-23; Acts 1:8)
- Train students to preach the good news and become effective witnesses with the power of the Holy Spirit and the word of God. (2 Tim 4:2; Mk 16:15-18; Mt 24:14)
