Home / Ministries / Christian Education Ministries
The Christian Education Ministry mission statement is to support Christ-centered instruction for the body of Christ. The Christian Education Ministry embodies the vision set forth by the Pastor. We offer Sunday School, TLC, Children’s Church, Vacation Bible School, small and large group activities as well as support other ministries that enrich the church and community in understanding and receiving God’s message.
16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly, equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17

New Member's Class
The mission of the New Members Class is to make new congregants feel welcome and excited about joining and serving in the church by:
- Communicating the church’s beliefs, vision, history, constitution, and ministries
- Educating and discipling new converts, while refreshing others on various Christian lessons based upon the description of the early church in Acts 2:42-47.
We want each member to leave the class wanting to be a part of God’s local Body with the knowledge that the church is a place for giving as well as receiving.

Toddler's Loving Christ (TLC)
The Toddlers Loving Christ (TLC) Ministry at Ebenezer Baptist Church is committed to the spiritual and physical well-being of all children 2 – 5 years old. This ministry is a vital part of our Christian Education curriculum and is intended to afford our little ones with an abundance of learning experiences to reinforce their understanding and love of their friend, Jesus. Our call is to nurture these little children in the spirit while teaching them about loving God and loving others. Teaching them to learn and grow in God’s love and to tell others about God’s love for them.

Children’s Church is committed to the spiritual and physical well-being of children from ages 6 to 12 years old.
