AIM
The central aim of the Sunday school department is to provide a platform for Church members to study the bible so that, by so doing they can discover the treasures in it.

To teach lessons that will both challenge and reinforce Christian biblical standards in personal relationships and provide an unbiased guide to fulfilling God’s will in the Christian life.
DESCRIPTION OF ROLES/DUTIES

The Sunday school teachers move to their respective classes to lead the session for each Sunday immediately after the opening prayers.
The HoD ensures that the sessions are running properly by making occasional visits to classes and also making announcements on the time layout to guide the teachers on time management for the session.
