1) To teach the Word of God effectively until pupils are saved, sanctified wholly, and maturing in Christian experience. 2) To help Christians grow spiritually by involving them in a reaching, teaching, and soul-winning ministry. 3) To locate and visit unchurched people until they become enrolled and regular in attendance. (What our Sunday School means to us.) Sunday School at First Church is: 1) Education - "Teaching the Word of God with excellence" "Love the Lord your God with all your heart...soul...mind and...strength." (Mark 12:30) With trained and qualified teachers, using excellent and relevant materials, resources, and facilitites; our Sunday School will teach the Word of God effectively to enlarge Biblical knowledge and spiritual insight, as well as provoke students to personal decision, response, and action. 2) Outreach - "Reaching out to the unchurched." "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:31) Our Sunday School will serve as the outreach arm of the church. Through our Sunday School program we will locate, pray for, visit, invite, enroll, welcome, assimilate, convert, disciple, and involve new people. 3) Caregiving - "Loving each other appropriately" "As I have loved you, so you must love one another." (John 13:34) To assure that everyone in the church knows that they are loved, accepted, and important, our Sunday School classes will serve as centers of Christian love and compassion. Each class will serve as a family group in and through which appropriate caregiving will be given to all on the class enrollment. |
