MCCA At Work
Church Schools
Education is a lifelong process, beginning at birth and ending with the grave. The ministry of the Church School is to guide the Christian education of persons from childhood and into the adult years. The aim is not simply to offer information but using the Bible as the basis of instruction to enable the transformation of lives and society through Christian education. In the MCCA what were once called "Sunday Schools" are now called Church Schools, which should cater to the needs of not only children and young people, but to all members of the Church irrespective of age.
The Church School is the cradle of the Church as it is here that the intentional Christian formation of individuals will occur in the Church. Each Church School is the responsibility of a Congregation, and the Congregation will see to ensuring that the Church School has the resources to carry out its responsibility. The ministry of the Church School is vitally important to the life, work and growth of the Church.
Please check the RESOURCES section to see which of the Church School materials from our own ‘Growing in Fullness’ series are available from the Connexional Office.
