Education offered by the church aims to grow God's people, and
to encourage all to develop as disciples of Christ.
All God's people are on a Lifelong Journey. The church can
offer informal and formal opportunities for Lifelong Learning.

There are also opportunities for the Church to work in
partnership with local FE colleges.

The Education Division's work in Higher Education is
concentrated on supporting Chaplaincy in universities, Higher
Education policy issues and Anglican Universities and University
colleges.
