Sunday School Leadership

Sunday School Leadership Resources

In most Evangelical churches today - one of the most exciting and challenging efforts which are being pursued by large numbers of Christians is the organized effort to teach God's Holy Word through the Sunday School organization

The purpose of this webpage is to attempt to provide up-to-date leadership resources to the Sunday School / Bible Study teachers and officers of our own church, and also to share with anyone else who chooses to use this information.

The included resources will include LINKS to both new and other Internet websites and blogs written by some Bible Teaching and Sunday School experts who are actively working with directors, teachers and class leaders.

For our own Bible Study teachers and class leaders in our church , we will include resources regarding our own organization / information which we are using each week. We are not a large church, but we feel that we have some of the finest and most committed teachers and class leaders who are faithfully serving the Lord in our church congregation. We will share some of our own ideas and concepts which we feel should help make our organization more vital and successful in teaching God's Word and reaching the lost for Christ!
