Appoint or enlist a group of Sunday School leaders to recommend an enrollment policy for the church or mission. Lead the group to study Section 5 of Sunday School for a New Century , especially pages 137-138. Prepare a proposed policy that includes a statement of rationale for Sunday School enrollment and tells when and how a person can be enrolled. Give strong consideration to a policy that allows a person to be enrolled anytime, anywhere, so long as the person agrees to be enrolled.
Some churches enroll persons automatically whenever they unite with the church.
Still others include an invitation to enroll in Sunday School on the application for church membership card. Include in the policy a statement that clarifies under what circumstances a person s name can be removed from the roll. Publicize the proposed policy giving full rationale for it and explaining each item. Take the proposal to the church for approval. Again provide the rationale for such a policy and answer all questions fully.
