Education Mission Statement
The Mission and Vision of Sheridan's Education Ministries is to equip all of God's children, youth and adults to grow in, share and celebrate the life-long journey of maturing faith as we grow together in God's grace. Our education ministries aim to help persons at different ages and stages consider their calling and role in passing on the faith to others. The goal of many of Sheridan's programs is also to provide for opportunities for mission, outreach and service as multiple generations work and serve hand in hand together. |
