The Six Core Values of Sunday School,
by
Allan Taylor?
In his introduction to the book, Allan Taylor indicates churches need to
get
back to the fundamentals
for building strong
Sunday Schools.
“Over scores of
years, Sunday School has been championed by many. Her flag has flown high
above the church—like school colors flying over a college football stadium.
But in recent years, some have attempted to take the flag down with a
message that Sunday School is not longer relevant in the 21st century. Next
to personal commitment and involvement of her individual members, I believe
Sunday School is still the best way to flesh out the Great Commission of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
I
believe we have left many of the fundamentals that made Sunday School the
proud entity she once was in our churches.”
Taylor goes on to
cite and explain essential core values, and says: “Embracing these six core
values will make your Sunday School manageable, measurable, and moveable!”
1. Reaching
People!
2. Teaching
People!
3. Ministering
to People!
4. Involving
People!
5. Building
Relationships with People!
I believe Taylor is
absolutely correct, right on target!
