Adult Education  

---

Mission Statement: 
The Northridge Adult Education program strives to educate adults of all ages in the Biblical foundations and Christian traditions of our faith and Christina practice. We seek to expand our course offerings by identifying, supporting, and educating new teachers.

Vision Statement:
A three-year plan for classes supports our church's mission in educating adults in a strong foundation in the Bible, in the Reformed faith, and in Christian practice in the following ways:

• Cover the books and themes of the Bible, over three years, to encourage BIblical liteacy
• Teach courses in Reformed theology, upon which our Presbyterian doctrines are based, including creeds and confessions.
• Explore themes from other religions, philosophies, and cultures. 
• Offer courses in church history from Biblical to modern times, including influential theologians and theologies.
• Introduce courses in Christian practice that would address contemporary issues and topics related to the daily lives of both younger and older adults. 
• Provide a flexible schedule of classes and a variety of class formats to address the needs of our congregation.
• Support new teachers by providing oppotunities to develop their teaching skills through workshops, team teaching, mentoring, and assistance with resources.
