First Episcopal District Church School Goals:

  • Following the direction of our Episcopal leadership we will incorporate the Guideposts into the program, teaching, and application of the First District Church Schools and organize the District Church School to accomplish our goals.
  • Support the work of Conference Superintendents and each Presiding Elder District so that we have a Church School in every church, with support of the pastors, prepared teachers, and disciplining members
  • Coordinate plan for teacher training with Board of Christian Education in line with Certification Program of the AME Church
  • Conference Superintendents will make recommendations for presenting a Model Church School at the seat of each Annual Conference at times that will allow for a full church school session, classes and lessons for all ages.
