SUNDAY SCHOOL IS THE PLACE TO BE
There is a place for each and every person in Sunday School. Join us from 10:00am - 10:45am in one of the age graded classes designed for Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. All children of God need to grow in their relationship with the Lord. Come be a part of a small group who studies the Bible and attempts to live out the truth of God's Word with the support of other fellow believers.
For thou art a holy people unto the Lord our God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth. (Isaiah 43.1)
SUNDAY SCHOOL VISION
OUR MISSION IS TO CLEARLY PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO OUR COMMUNITY WHILE EQUIPPING OUR PEOPLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHERE GOD HAS PLACED THEM.
- PROCLAIM CHRIST---------------------------------------WORSHIP SERVICE
- EQUIP OUR PEOPLE-------------------------------------SUNDAY SCHOOL & DISCIPLESHIP
- MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHERE PLANTED--------SERVANT EVANGELISM
PROCLAIM CHRIST
We should make our worship services the best they can be so as to proclaim Christ in a clear and meaningful way. Our OUTREACH EVANGELISM must be to people who visit as well as going out to soul win those who need a Savior. We hope to see a great harvest of souls come into the Kingdom. This will take a season of Prayer and Commitment from each of us. We must get busy for our Lord's return.
EQUIP OUR PEOPLE
Our INREACH EVANGELISM must be done by our Sunday School classes. We ask that the teacher assign class members names of members who are not regularly attending S.S. Please get class member to give a report to you so we can know whether the absent members are still prospects or if they are going somewhere else. We must keep each other accountable if we are to reach those on our class rolls.
Our teacher training will be done by on the job training in which we are asking that the assistant teachers be allowed to teach at least once a month. There will also be special training offered at different times.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHERE PLANTED
