The Mission of Christian Education is to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to prepare people for ministry and evangelism by teaching Christian principles, modeling Christ-like character, and providing an environment that encourages and nurtures Christian fellowship.
We believe that Christian Education is a fundamental part of our growth as Christians. GVM offers many opportunities including:

Fresh Beginnings is the membership information class for Green Valley United Methodist Church. People seeking to join our church participate in this 11 week class.

The class meets weekly to discuss the basics of the Christian faith, our local church and the United Methodist Church. This is an informative and fun experience for all!
