General Sunday School Information
What Is the Role of Sunday School?
The Sunday School ministry is the foundational strategy in a local church for leading people to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and for building on-mission Christians through open Bible study groups that engage people in evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, ministry, and worship.
What Is An Open Group?
An open-group strategy exists to lead people to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and to build on-mission Christians by engaging people in foundational evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, ministry, and worship through ongoing, evangelistic Bible study units of believers together with unbelievers in an atmosphere of compassion to share the gospel.
