The purpose of the Education Ministry at First Baptist Church of Madison is to develop every believer into a mature, responsible follower of Christ and to lay the foundation for other people to come to a personal relationship with Christ through our witness. We do this through five areas:

Fellowship - John 13:35, Jesus said, "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." People want to be loved and needed, from the smallest child to the oldest adult. We want to be a channel for God's love to you.

Bible Study - 1 Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." We seek to bring individuals into an encounter with God through the Bible.

Service - Romans 12:4-6 "Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us." We are to help Christians discover their spiritual gifts and equip them for service.

Evangelism/Missions - Acts 1:8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." We are to equip every believer to be a witness where they walk and talk.

Worship/Prayer - Luke 4:8 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'" Since God is to be our focus, we are helping individuals learn how to pray and worship.
