Free Church Education Committee

Members of the Free Church Education Committee (FCEC) all have experience and an active interest in education. The FCEC is committed to upholding respect for religious faith, of whatever creed, and the right of an individual to hold that faith, whilst recognising its own rootedness in the Kingdom of God. It will use its voice to critique present values; to sensitise the denominations; to lobby and inform the government; and to support individuals involved in education, whether as professionals or volunteers. It sees its purpose as seeking to clarify the distinctiveness of the nonconformist Christian voice in education and to articulate its message with conviction and confidence.

Contributions to RE

At times of continuing educational change, the FCEC is represented in national discussions about curriculum development and guidance, as well as contributing to routine multi-agency meetings. That level of representation, working with Government departments and other organisations, will continue to be a priority for the committee. The FCEC also strives to have Free Church representation on SACREs.
