This paper discusses the aims and objectives of Christian education. The aims of Christian education is to bring people to a saving faith in Jesus Christ, to train them in a life of discipleship, and to equip them for Christian service in the world today. It is to develop in believers a biblical world-view that will assist them in making significant decisions from a Christian perspective. It is helping believers to ‘thinking Christianly’ about all areas of life so that they can impact society with the message of gospel. In essence, it is development of a Christian world-view. Worship, evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, and service are all drawn from the Scriptures and are included in any purpose and value statement for Christian education. Effective Christian education can be measured upon the accomplishment of these important functions. An objective needs to meet theological standards, and these have to have enough relevance to provide guidance. It needs to be within the teaching possibilities of those responsible for the educational program. It must allow room for the work of God, of the teacher, and of the pupil, with a rationale for each. Aims, objectives, and values of Christian education are derived from a theological foundation that is biblically based.
