Teacher Support
Welcome to our Sunday School teacher resource page. We offer ideas to help you with administration, supporting your volunteer teachers, lesson planning, and summer activities. For further support, we would be happy to set up a workshop tailored to meet the specific needs of affiliated congregations. Email us for more details.
Developing Your Sunday School Program
A Sunday School program is a wonderful way to teach children the stories of God's Word. It also provides an opportunity for adults to connect with the Lord in a meaningful way and to communicate the Word’s treasures to children. Whether you are starting a Sunday School or would like to renew an existing program, we believe you will find some useful ideas in Developing a Sunday School Program (PDF). The document contains sections on the following topics:
- Providing a vision
- Planning what to teach (curriculum)
- Setting up classrooms
- Finding teachers and nurturing them
- Communicating with teachers and parents
- Sharing the Sunday School program with your church community
