Sunday School -
Our Purpose

The Sunday School is the primary ministry in the local church to achieve the command of Christ:

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew 28:19-20)

Scripture mandates that in order to fulfill this mission of Christ the church must:

• Evangelize

• Assimilate

• Disciple

• Worship

• Serve

(cf. Deut. 6; Acts 2:38-47; Eph. 4:11-16)

Therefore the purpose of the Sunday School is to reach people for Christ and assimilate them into a local body through life changing Bible study to lead them to care, witness, fellowship, and worship.

Special Note: Consideration must be given to a variety of approaches and models which will assist with the accomplishment of the mission.
