Episode notes
Use Sunday Morning—People Are Already There
- Prioritize Sunday morning classes because many people are already present and schedules are busy.
- Use that hour to mobilize volunteers and build regular attendance rather than pushing people to extra weekly meetings.
Imago Dei Moved To A Discipleship Hour
- Mark Hallock cites Imago Dei (Tony Morita) shifting to a dedicated discipleship hour between services.
- That example illustrates a practical schedule change to prioritize Sunday school on Sunday mornings.
Class Structure Produces Leaders
- Sunday school naturally develops leaders because classes can include teachers, assistants, secretaries, and care leaders.
- Those distributed roles create many entry points for lay leadership that a single worship service rarely provides.
