Organization serves a practical purpose.
It provides a structure for what a class does. Adult Sunday School leaders recommend an organizational structure that assures that the needs of a class members do not go unmet. The number of leaders a class should have depends both on the number of potential leaders available and the number of members in the class. In larger classes that choose this structure, an inreach leader can be added to remove the administrative load normally assumed by the teacher, who heads the class leadership team. Each leader has specific assignments to carry out, and leaders generally are enlisted to fulfill the assigned job responsibilities for one year.
