Religious Education Committee
In many congregations the work of the religious education committee is lifespan in scope and includes programming for children, youth, and adults. Program development, teacher and leader recruitment, and publicity for programming are concerns dealt with by religious education committees.
Other congregations use a model of separate committees for adult religious education and religious education for children and youth. Sometimes the adult religious education committee is a subcommittee of the religious education committee. In either case, regular communication between committees dealing with religious education programming for children, youth, and adults is important. A joint retreat once a year is an excellent way to affirm common vision and support particular plans.
