Recruiting Sunday School Teachers
as we work to renew in-church Sunday School
The 2020-21 pandemic was a huge blow to in-person Sunday School. Attendance may take years to rebound in some churches. Why? Because people are creatures of habit. Some have lost the habit of attending regularly, and others have lost the habit of attending entirely.
You can read here what some of the church experts are predicting about post-pandemic church attendance.
The silver lining:
Many adults and families need or are looking for
a reason to get back in the habit of going to church
--and volunteering to teach can BE THAT REASON.
One of the reasons that many people volunteer in Sunday School is that it gives them that EXTRA MOTIVATION to get to church on Sunday. They come because they HAVE TO, they've made a commitment to teach. They know they will be missed. They know they will let down others.
Be honest with people: signing up to teach will help them
- have a great reason to get out of bed on Sunday morning
- do Bible study
- learn how to express their faith
- and will make them a hero to the little kids!
