The Value of a Soul! A Complete Sunday School Lesson You Can Use. Authored by Patrice Smith – PCAF Member.


Author Patrice Smith has written a timely Sunday school lesson, entitled: “The Value of a Soul.” She delves into answering many questions including, “what is a soul worth?” and “why are all souls valuable to God?” Patrice has shed light on this rarely talked about and informative matter. You may want to take a Sunday and break from your traditional classes to teach on this eye-opening subject! Try holding classes during the week or on one Bible class night (with your pastor’s permission, of course) if Sundays are not convenient.

HERE IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE LESSON:

It is society’s practice to judge people based on externals (i.e., looks, wealth, titles, education, profession, zip codes, etc.) It is probably safe to say we have all judged someone based on externalities or what society deems as important. Or…we may have been the one who was ignored or overlooked because we did not measure up to someone’s standards. Every day, people are mistreated, ignored, and made fun of because they look a certain way or lack resources to obtain a so-called “good” lifestyle. We forget that behind every face (whether considered attractive or not), behind every body-type, behind every wealthy businessman or woman and behind every homeless person begging for money on the street corner — there is an invaluable soul. To overlook people or make them feel unwanted based on looks or societal status is, from God’s perspective, wicked and contrary to biblical principles. For the bible states that God is no respecter of persons, He rains on the just and the unjust. John 3:16 points out this very fact, that “God so loved…He gave His only begotten Son.”

Second Orientation for the PCAF In-Classroom and Online Biblical Training and Certification Program – Michigan Location


Orientation will be Monday, September 21st at 6 p.m.
We will meet at Nehemiah’s Temple, 25130 Lorraine, Warren, Michigan

CLASSES EXPECTED TO START LATE OCTOBER, 2015

Our Classroom and Online Training and Certification Program (held for Michigan students) is a course for all — teachers and serious students — who have an interest in furthering their knowledge of the Bible and related biblical issues. This quality classroom/online training has a $48 registration fee for the entire standard course. The total tuition (including registration fee and six books) is $150. You may get started with $65, which will include your registration fee, and first book to take to the classroom.

Details of Our Biblical Training

We will be studying in a classroom environment but the assignments will be done online. (During orientation, instructions will be given on how to take our “one-click” user friendly online quizzes.) Exceptions can be made to take written quizzes, as well.

The orientation will take place Monday, but the training will be every Monday from 6:30 PM until 8:45 PM. Excellent anointed and seasoned instructors will inform and train students in the classroom setting.  This will be a great opportunity for serious students to learn more about the Bible and biblical related issues. The duration of the course will last approximately 9 months. You do not need to attend all classes, but assignments are due each week prior to the next session. If you cannot make some sessions, you may do assignments online and submit them to be graded. Our studies will cover six books to complete the Biblical training. You will be able to use “open book” during the online quizzing. Quizzing for two chapters is required per week.

Standard Course Studies

Old Testament Survey I
Old Testament Survey II
New Testament Survey
Understanding People
Teaching Techniques
Sunday School Ministry

Payment is encouraged during the orientation. You can come with your questions. During this time a demonstration will be given on how to take the “one-click” online quizzes.

After completion of the course, you get the honors of being certified with the PCAF and graduating with students (from around the country) at the National Convention in Detroit 2016.

Thank you!
The PCAF National Sunday School Staff

Offer an Ongoing Ministers’ Development Class


“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.
