 THE SUNDAY SCHOOL :
This is that arm of the Christian Education that brings pupils to Christ through evangelism, builds them up for Christian service through systematic study and teachings of Christian doctrine of faith.

The School at Sunday is divided into various age groups which include the Cradle, Nursery, Primary, Junior, Intermediate, Adults, New Comers, Water Baptism Membership, Workers-in-Training and General workers.
Training is an important aspect of the Christian Education. The Christian Education through the Sunday School organizes training and development programs for workers and the general assembly from time to time.
HOME AND LIFE MINISTRY:
The important role the home plays in building life has necessitated the establishment of Home and Life Ministry. The Home and Life Ministry otherwise called the Home Church is being run by a body led by the Head of the Ministry (HOM). Each home church has a leader who acts as the Pastor for the Cell. The Home Church has three main key issues amongst others:
Community evangelism, Home building, Meeting needs of the members of each cell.
EXTERNAL MINISTRY:
The External ministry is made up of Publications, Research and New Ventures, Schools and Colleges units. Information dissemination is considered very vital in today’s church. To this end, the publication unit publishes on quarterly basis, Journals that carry news about the activities and the testimonies of the Lord’s doing in the church which also feature the message of the Senior Pastor for the quarter.
The Research and New Venture is charged with constantly looking at ways and means of improving the activities of the church with a view to meeting the challenges of our time.

The men group is referred to as The Council of Foursquare Men (CFM) while the women group is referred to as the Foursquare Women International (FWI). Each group is headed by a leader refer to as President who preside over their meetings on a monthly basis. The Adult Ministry helps to ensure that the men and women are properly integrated into the affairs of the church and also that those needs peculiar to them are met.

The Youth has a President appointed by the Senior Pastor of the church so also the Teen group has a Coordinator appointed by the Senior Pastor. The Youth Ministry is a very sensitive ministry and all efforts are made to ensure that they are properly taking care of spiritually, academically, socially and an-indebt knowledge of the word of God. These are tomorrow’s leaders and therefore, they are modeled to be able to take up their proper place in the very near future.
SUMMER SCHOOL
The Summer School is organized once a year especially during the summer long vacation from regular schools. This is another avenue to win souls for Christ. The curriculum of the School is drawn in such a way that their students are adequately catered for both academically, socially and spiritually. Their spiritual well being is of utmost importance to the church, hence this is considered in drawing their programs. It is also part of our social responsibility to our community as the school is usually free.
RENEWAL/REVIVAL
On a quarterly basis the Christian Education organizes Renewal/Revival programs for the local church. This is done with a view to keeping the fire of the gospel message continuously burning in the life of the believer. During this period Guests ministers are usually invited to teach the word of God and also minister in prayers for special needs in the lives of the people of God. The result has always been tremendous blessings from the Lord on His people.
