Frequently Asked Questions

• What should I do for my Sunday school class?

  Recruit and train Sunday School greeters. A warm greeting goes a long way when a person first attends a Sunday School class. Enlist volunteers to come early to welcome others as they arrive, showing special interest in any newcomers. Spruce up the classrooms.

• When did the Sunday School movement start in Britain?

  The Sunday school movement began in Britain in the 1780s and spread to America in the 19th century. But the Sunday schools of that day were nothing like we have today; they were schools very much like our public schools today, only with the Bible as a core component.

• How old do you have to be to go to Sunday school?

  It usually began when the child was three to five years old and it was taught only to the boys. That is no longer true. It could be that the Sunday school, which evolved in the evangelical movement, is based upon the premise of the Yeshiva.

• Why did people go to school on Sunday?

  They were established to provide an elementary education on Sunday for children who were employed in factories, stores, and farms the rest of the week. Eventually, child labor laws were instituted and the institution of the public school was created, relegating religious instruction to the churches.
