Pastor Andre Osborne

Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

​

It is with profound humility and immense gratitude to God that I extend this message as the newly elected President of the Congress of Christian Education. I am honored to serve alongside such a dedicated and faithful community, committed to advancing the cause of Christian education and empowering believers to grow in their faith and service to the Lord.

​

As we step into this new season, our focus is clear: "Bridging Generations: Learning and Growing in Christ Together." This theme reflects our mission to unite individuals of all ages, fostering mutual growth, understanding, and discipleship as we journey together in faith. We are called not only to teach but to create a legacy of spiritual connection and learning that spans across generations, enriching our churches, families, and communities.

​

The mission of Christian education is vital to the spiritual health and growth of the body of Christ. Together, we have the unique opportunity to nurture and equip individuals with biblical knowledge, practical ministry skills, and a deeper understanding of their purpose in God’s Kingdom. I look forward to partnering with each of you as we continue to build on the strong foundation laid by those who have come before us.

​

As we embrace this focus, let us heed the call of 2 Timothy 2:2: “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” By bridging generations, we ensure that the wisdom of the past and the energy of the present come together to prepare future leaders for Christ’s Kingdom.

​

I am committed to fostering collaboration, innovation, and unity among our educators, leaders, and students. Let us work together to create spaces where all generations can learn from one another and grow deeper in their relationship with Christ.

​

Thank you for your unwavering commitment and partnership. I encourage you to join me in prayer for wisdom, guidance, and strength as we pursue excellence in every aspect of our work. May our efforts bring glory to God and transform lives for His Kingdom.

In His Service,
Reverend Johnnie M. Perkins, II
President, Congress of Christian Education
