The manifold purpose of the Council on Christian Education is to work with the church and Minister of Christian Education to carry out the teaching obligation in the Great Commission at Ebenezer; to provide representative influence from the congregation into the Christian Education Department School; to prevent omissions in the program, overlapping of content, and over-emphasis on any one topic; to effectively correlate and coordinate the total Christian education program; to review educational curriculum and materials; to suggest the educational budget; to review the qualifications and personnel for teaching positions; and to evaluate the present program with a view of planning for the future educational needs of the church.
