The Ministry of Education is very important to the worldwide church of Seventh-day Adventists as well.
as to the local congregation. The mission of the Education Department here at the Bronx Church is to be an EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE CENTER helping prepare young people for the 21st century and beyond. Another primary focus is to promote Christian Education as the investment that it truly is.
We offer resources to motivate, train and educate our membership, as well as keep the membership aware of career opportunities and job training. Further, we provide information on scholarships to help with tuition even at the elementary level.

RITES of PASSAGE
A year-long program for teens and adolescents to participate in a maturing and learning process for introduction into young adulthood. In both December 2007 and December 2009, the church graduated several young people who completed the assignments. Another is being considered this year for our teenagers.
TUTORING
The department provides math and reading tutoring on Sundays. We have three teachers who volunteer their time for the students of the church. Currently, we tutor elementary and middle school students. In 2018-19, we plan to expand this program to the community.
COMPUTER CLASS
For members, regardless of age, who are not computer literate or who may need (or want) to improve their computer skills, we provide a computer training class. Certificates of completion are given to those who complete the different levels.
