One additional question to ask about your Sunday school and your preparation for Sunday school growth: Is your Sunday school “family friendly?”Families represent both an obligation and a great opportunity. You have an obligation to try to reach all persons – including all of the families – of your community, to tell them about Jesus Christ and to invite them to Sunday school. Also, since most families have 4 or more members, the addition of even several new families would represent a significant increase in attendance in any Sunday school. Don’t overlook the importance of reaching out to the families of your community.
