Five Essentials of Sunday School Growth

January 6, 2012 by Darryl Wilson Leave a Comment

This month on the Sunday School Leader blog, my peers and I (state Sunday School directors) are sharing a month-long emphasis focusing on five areas of Sunday School growth that have become known as Flake’s Formula: (1) know the possibilities, (2) enlarge the organization, (3) provide space and equipment, (4) enlist and train leaders, and (5) go after the people. There will be a different great post every day.

Check out these great posts:

  • Arthur Flake’s Five-step Formula to Sunday School Growth
  • Arthur Flake’s (biblical?) Formula
  • Know the Possibilities
  • Are you having trouble relating to your neighbors?
  • Know Your People Group

I want to encourage you to sign up for the Sunday School Leader blog by subscribing with your email (on the right side of the blog page) so you won’t miss a single post this month!

Here are a few of the previous posts that I have written there:

  • Increase the Impact of Your Sunday School Christmas Party
  • Expanding Group Life in Sunday School
  • Sunday School: Reach Out or Leak Out!
  • More Than a Meeting: Obedience
  • People Groups & Grading: Who Do You Want to Reach?

I have written here previously about Arthur Flake and Flake’s Formula. Check out these blog posts:

  • Flake’s Formula for Sunday School Growth: Know the Possibilities
  • Flake’s Formula for Sunday School Growth: Enlarge the Organization
  • Flake’s Formula for Sunday School Growth: Provide Space and Equipment
  • Flake’s Formula for Sunday School Growth: Enlist the Leaders
  • Flake’s Formula for Sunday School Growth: Go aft er the People, Part A
  • Flake’s Formula for Sunday School Growth: Go after the People, Part B

Make a fresh commitment to giving God your best effort through Sunday School. Allow mediocre Sunday School efforts to fade into the past. Make disciples. Be revolutionary!

Two encounters are critical. First, the leader encounters God in His Word and is changed. Second, the leader guides the group to have a life-changing encounter.

In John 13:34-35, three times Jesus said, “Love one another.” Your group is the ideal place to practice and launch the kind of love for one another that shows the world that we are His disciples.
