“Where evangelism has been the heart of the message and the work of Sunday School, church buildings have been crowded, people have been baptized, money has been given. Through the years Sunday Schools that have been positively evangelistic kept on growing. Sunday Schools grow fastest when the fires of evangelism burn the hottest.” —J.N. Barnette, The Place of the
Sunday School in Evangelism
“The problem with non-evangelistic Sunday Schools is not the program itself; the problem is the failure to use the program as an intentional evangelistic tool.”
—Dr. Thom Rainer,
High Expectations
“Sunday School is the foundational strategy in a local church for leading people to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and for building Great Commission Christians through Bible study groups that engage people in evangelism, discipleship, ministry, fellowship, and worship.”
—Bill Taylor, Sunday School for a New Century
