I just found the blog yesterday after doing a Google search for "Sunday School class arrangement." I have enjoyed it immensely. The question before me at my new church is, "What steps do I take to create a culture change from education to discipleship?" One of the things we are going to do is post a core set of Biblical expectations for disciples in every room. I am also changing references in the computer database, written/oral communication, and room signage from teacher/student to disciple maker/disciple. I think in our culture (I was a high school teacher for 9 years) teacher/student terminology negative skews people's perception of the way Sunday School is to operate.

Keep up the great, thought provoking work.

1. Ready

2. Fire

3. Aim

The lesson is that leaders have a bias for action. Sometimes we don't know what to do. Do something. Fire. Then adjust.

As far as alternative names for Sunday School, every alternative comes with challenges: (1) you have to explain the name/term, (2) you usually end up defining it as Sunday School in order for people to understand what it is, and (3) many terms tend to define Sunday School work too narrowly.

For instance, the term, Bible Study, focuses only on teaching-learning. The term, ABF (adult Bible fellowship), primarily focuses on teaching-learning and fellowship, but what about reaching and being on mission? The term, Small Groups, is broad but does not help new people understand what it is. The term, LIFE Groups, usually requires defining what each letter in LIFE stands for in order to explain. The term, Growth Groups, can indicate a focus on reaching, relationships, and discipleship but may also be confusing to new people without advance explanation (they may assume only a focus on numbers).

Paul, I hope readers will add some responses to this question!]]>
