The
core values of the Church of the Nazarene remind us
that we are a Christian people, a Holiness people and a missional people. In Sunday School
Ministries we hold to these same core values.
We
are a Christian people. We believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. We
believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord of Scripture. We
look to Scripture as the primary source of spiritual
truth confirmed by reason, tradition, and experience.
Sunday School is the place to teach the vital
importance of Scripture to our children, teens, and
adults and to disciple them in their Christian walk.
Sunday School remains one of the church's most
powerful ways to affirm the Word of God as the
foundation for living the Christian life.
We
are a Holiness people. Sunday School is the place where disciples of
all ages can be taught the doctrine of holiness, enter
into the experience, and be guided in their process of
becoming more like Jesus through regular Bible study
and personal spiritual accountability.
We
are a missional people. Our mission is to go and make disciples. The
goal of Sunday School ministries is to reach lost
people for Jesus. Through the Sunday School, we
challenge all ages to be disciples of Jesus Christ and
to invite others to do the same. Sunday School is the
place where we help each other live the holy life
through mutual support, Christian fellowship, and
loving accountability. John Wesley said, "God has
given us to each other to strengthen each other's
hands."
In
Sunday School Ministries we believe that Sunday School
is the place to discover what it means to be
Christian, holiness people who are on a global mission
to reach and disciple people of all ages. |
