One of the greatest priorities of this church family is the education of both the young and the not-so-young.  To that end, we have built a vibrant education program, filled with rich learning experiences and exciting events.

The education program is run by Mary Karlovec. Mary has been our CE Director for more than 11 years now.  She brings an exuberance and love to this calling.  Mary is a teacher with 31 years experience, currently teaching 2nd grade in the Elyria City Schools. She is a life-long member of First Congregational, as well as being among the 4th generation of her family to attend!  For more information about Mary, see her profile page.
