Sunday School
The Sunday School was first introduced in the Church with the purpose of reaching individuals and communities with the message of salvation. Our task hasn’t changed since its beginning in 1906. We are still teaching the entirety of the inspired Word of God with the goal of making disciples for Christ. We want to bring men, women, boys and girls to the knowledge of Christ and the Church by building them up through the organized study of the Bible.
Sunday School is unique in that it enables each participant to live a more consistent and consecrated life to the Lord by delving in the Holy Scriptures weekly with both times of lecture and query. Of course, the Word of God is our main resource material, but we are happy to report that The Church of God prints our own Sunday School materials for the following basic age groups—Adult, Teen, Junior, Primary and Preschool. The Sunday School department strives to teach the whole message to the whole world.
