Indoor Sunday School
At Metro Ministries, Sunday School is the most exciting hour of the week.
Each week, Metro Ministries workers and volunteers hand out thousands of eye-catching flyers announcing the theme of that weekend?s Sunday School. Then on Saturday morning, Metro Ministries? bus captains head out on their scheduled routes to pick up boys and girls throughout the boroughs. Worship begins the minute the children get on the bus, with hugs, laughter and songs. In fact, some mornings you can stand in front of Metro Ministries and hear the buses before you can even see them.
During three weekend services, we present the gospel in a stimulating, often "electric" atmosphere. We build each week?s lesson around a simple biblical principle. Our objective is to make the application so clear that the kids will apply it to their lives and never forget it.
And if there is a key to the long-term success of our Sunday School it is the thousands of home visits that take place all week long. Our bus captains and their assistants have a roster of every child on their route, and they knock on each of those children?s doors. The relationships that develop during those brief, but effective visits in the home carry the same weight — if not — more as the Sunday School program itself. Either one, however, is not successful without the other.
Metro Ministries Sunday School averages well over 20,000 children in weekly attendance. This Sunday School ministry has also produced a vibrant adult congregation to Metro Ministries — parents who saw the impact of Christ on their children.
Metro Ministries also conducts Sunday School programs in the Philippines, Romania, South Africa, and Italy where an additional 20,000 children are reached each week. Worldwide, we have more than 42,000 children in Sunday School programs each week, and our model is being duplicated by organizations in cities around the world.
