Christian Education and Formation

Senior Bishop Lawrence Reddick
Presiding Prelate – Eighth Episcopal District

8th Episcopal District Department of Christian Education and Formation

The purpose of Christian Education and Formation is to equip individuals to live as Christian disciples and complete the work of “discipling,” a continuous lifestyle of Christian discipline and disciple-making. Through Christian education and formation, individuals are invited to know and experience God through Jesus, claim and live God’s promises, and grow and serve as disciples of Jesus Christ. 

A list of responsibilities of the Board of Christian Education and Formation can be
found in The Book of Discipline, Revised 2022, Paragraph 516.1.
