Leading the Sunday School
ministry
The church has asked you to be the Sunday
school director. Your role is to lead the staff of volunteer Sunday school
teachers, department directors and other officers to do several things on a
weekly basis. The Sunday school leaders will prepare Bible study lessons for
the members of their classes and lead the Sunday school sessions. Greeter teams
will welcome people to the classess, coffee and donuts may be made available.
Someone will count the number of attendees and a secretary will record the
weekly attendance report. At some point, there will be a need to order the set
of curriculum materials for the next quarter or teaching
cycle.
But is there more to your job? Who takes
care of the issues of coordination of classroom usage, fixing broken teaching
equipment, ordering crayons for the children's department? There are probably a
dozen other tasks that could be mentioned.
But in a well-organized Sunday school
ministry, there will be volunteers who will be up to these tasks when enlisted,
trained and mobilized. You may need some additional resources to understand all
there is to leading the Sunday school minstry. You can do it. We are here to
help you!
