Christian Education is a means of teaching the Word of God so that both young and old can understand Christian doctrine and life. To this end, we conduct home Bible studies, Sunday Schools, weekday activities, and other programs. We establish day-care centers, elementary and secondary schools and institutions of higher education, including seminaries, colleges and universities. Free Methodist Communications produces and markets books, magazines and other literature.
