Education Beyond the Walls
The intent of Education Beyond the Walls (EBW) is:

Offering Christ to all, we will teach congregations to engage in service to people beyond the walls of
the church through Word and Deed Practicums for ongoing education groups.


A Word and Deed Practicum is a model for a shared experience that seeks to move ongoing education
groups beyond study to actual practice, followed by intentional reflection for learning. The age range
spans elementary-aged children through adults.

The Conference Christian Education and Formation Team recommends the EBW Guidebook as an
effective resource for today’s church. We urge your congregation to use the Guidebook, with the
concerted efforts of pastors professionals and lay leadership. Copy the materials and distribute
them as needed, so that the potential of Education Beyond the Walls is realized: to engage us in
learning by doing as we offer Christ to all.
