SUNDAY SCHOOL

Our goal is to reach the largest number of unchurched people for Christ and the church, bringing them into the fellowship, teaching the Word of God effectively, and encompassing their salvation; teaching the doctrines of the Christian faith and developing Christlike character, attitudes, and habits; helping to establish Christian homes; preparing believers for membership in the church and equipping them for appropriate Christian ministries.

Connecting the Family of God with the Word 2008: Sunday School Emphasis

During this emphasis, the Word of God will be highlighted as the heritage, the story, the worldview, the moral compass, and the foundation of the people (family) of God. Each week, a verse of Scripture provides the theme for the week. Use these verses as the scriptural basis for sermons to be delivered by the pastor or short devotions given by the Sunday School Superintendent in the service, in a combined Sunday School activity, or in a newsletter.

Age Groups
This Sunday School emphasis connects the various age groups within the congregation. Sunday School is for everyone. Be sure to emphasize how each group impacts all the others. Each group ministers to each other.

Call to Action
During each week of the emphasis, various activities are suggested. Some are one-time events which take place on Sunday morning. Others provide opportunities for Sunday School classes to make an impact on the church and greater community. Although these events can be a one-time event, they have been planned to encourage long-term impact. Events have been chosen which can be completed (to varying degrees of participation) by Sunday School classes of all age groups.
