“We have a well established class for ministers on Sunday mornings. One minister each week will teach the lesson from our standard curriculum, while honing their teaching skills. Just before the sessions end, the minister’s alliance leader will take a few minutes to assign upcoming lessons, make announcements, or share other information related to ministers.”

Specialized classes can be created to help develop ministers at your assembly. These classes can be held on Sunday mornings, along with your regularly scheduled Sunday classes.

Here’s how it’s done:

1) Call a meeting with all ministers.
2) Establish a place during Sunday school.
3) Appoint your ministers’ alliance chairperson or someone to faithfully look over the training.
4) Schedule and appoint your teachers months in advance to teach from your Sunday school literature.
5) Have a seasoned instructor to occasionally assist teachers in areas of development.

The steps above are a good way of developing and establishing ministers who feel called and led by God in the teaching ministry.
