How Sunday School Fit Into The A. M. E. Church Structure
How does the Sunday school fit into the A.M.E. church structure?
• What is Sunday school?
A school generally affiliated with a church that offers religious instruction for children, and adults as well, on Sundays. Sunday school classes are usually grouped off into age groups. This way, the teacher can teach the same lesson on the students' age level.
Luke 18:16 (KJV)
"But Jesus called them unto him, and said, suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God."

• What is the aim of Sunday school?
The main purpose is to help the students learn about God's Word, and know how to apply it to their daily lives.
Proverbs 22:6(KJV)
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

I believe the best way of doing this is through catechism. I also believe that having the Sunday Schools catechize all members together in Sunday school that as a church we would have doctrinal unity, a deeper understanding of God and our relationship to him, and as a church we would become a more effective tool for God in our community. Most of the Sunday schools aim at providing the common masses with an opportunity to study the Bible. The Sunday school education often included a comprehensive study of the Bible. It intends to imbibe in the minds of the people, the principles and philosophies stated in the Bible. One of the primary purposes of the Sunday school is to teach the Bible to the

    A message is to be selected which is appropriate for the student, then communicated to him by the teacher (Mitchell, p276). A regimen must be in place which encompasses an organized, structured designed curriculum (Mitchell, p279). Yet we must not simply fill people’s heads with Biblical knowledge and principles (Barna 2001, p89). Because of the diversity of believer’s backgrounds and abilities, the message has been taught in random, rather than systematic methods (Barna 2001, p91). This incongruity has resulted in good information being lost if it is presented without context, or application to the believers’ life.…

    One important aspect of Christian ministry is education. Dr. Michael Mitchell defines education as, “the creative process of utilizing external and internal forces to facilitate the functions of teaching and training in promoting and attaining growth and development, enabling complete individuals to comprehend, contemplate, and contribute to their community and culture.”1 The growth and development that take place as a result of education typically happen in a group setting. Those being educated submit to a process that prepares them for events that come along throughout life. In the context of Christian education, this process focuses on “producing disciples who worship Jesus and proclaim Him to the world, utilizing knowledge and competencies acquired in the processes of reconciliation, restoration, correction, and perfection.”2…
