The Steadfast Baptist Church Christian Education Department stands as a vital pillar in the spiritual growth and discipleship of our congregation. Charged with the mission to equip believers of all ages with biblical knowledge, sound doctrine, and practical application, this department is foundational to nurturing a thriving, mature body of Christ. Through carefully designed programs such as Sunday School, Bible studies, youth ministries, and adult education classes, the Christian Education Department ensures that every member is anchored in the Word and empowered to live out their faith boldly.

Its importance extends far beyond mere instruction; it cultivates a culture of learning and spiritual development that strengthens the church’s core. By fostering theological understanding and spiritual maturity, the department directly supports the church’s mission to raise up committed disciples who impact their families, communities, and the world. The Christian Education Department is indispensable in building a resilient, informed, and active congregation—equipping the saints to stand firm in truth and shine as lights in Detroit and beyond.

The Christian Education Department at Steadfast Baptist Church is the heart of spiritual growth and biblical knowledge. It branches out into several powerful ministries designed to equip and disciple believers of all ages.

L.I.F.E. Institute
Our L.I.F.E. (Living In Full Experience) Institute stands as a cornerstone for deep, in-depth Bible teaching. It offers structured classes that cover doctrine, and practical Christian living, ensuring members grow in sound biblical understanding and apply God’s Word boldly in their lives.

Vacation Bible School (VBS)
VBS is a dynamic outreach and discipleship tool that ignites the faith of our children during the summer months. Through engaging lessons, worship, and activities centered on Scripture, kids build a strong foundation in Christ, preparing the next generation to walk confidently in God’s truth.

Bible Study
Our Bible Study is a catalyst for personal and communal growth. Meeting regularly, these groups delve into Scripture with intentionality and fervor, fostering spiritual maturity, accountability, and a deeper relationship with Christ. They are open to all ages and stages of faith.

In addition to these, the Christian Education Department supports many other ministries such as Discipleship Training, and Leadership Development programs. Each branch operates with a bold commitment to cultivating a church body grounded and flourishing in the Word of God.
