ARTICLE VI - SUNDAY SCHOOL

A. Function. It shall be the function of the Sunday School to lead souls to Christ, to instruct believers in the Word of God, and to prepare its attendees for part in the permanent fellowship of the church. The Sunday School, or any other organization of the church, shall not consider itself a separate organization from the church, but a part of the church itself, and it shall act and cooperate with the church in all its functions.

B. Officers. The officers of the Sunday School shall be the Superintendent (a two year term) and Asst. Superintendent (a one year term), the Secretary and Asst. ~Secretary, and the Treasurer who is the one elected to handle all church monies. These shall be elected at the annual meeting of the church. The Sunday School Superintendent and his Assistants shall subscribe without reservation to the Articles of Faith and be of high moral and spiritual stature as they will be responsible for the supervision of the Christian Education program of the church. Choice of books and literature, classes and teachers, shall be determined by them together with the Pastor and subject to the approval of the Elders.

C. Teachers. All teachers shall give evidence of a thorough conversion, shall live lives of separation from the world, and shall be faithful in attendance of the regular services of the church and the Sunday School board meetings. All teachers shall abide by the Articles of Faith. If there are areas of differences, the prospective teacher must make known to the Elders any reservations they may have about the Articles of Faith, and agree not to discuss those reservations with those they will be teaching, or to stir up any divisions or controversy within the church. In each case the Elders must give approval before a person is permitted to teach.

D. Board Meetings. If practical the Sunday School Board should meet at least monthly. If there is no regular or pressing order of business, the time should be spent in prayer in behalf of the Sunday School. The Superintendent may call special meetings if it is deemed necessary, this to be done one (1) week prior to the meeting. The Superintendent shall preside at all board meetings unless mutually agreed otherwise, and the Secretary shall record the business considered. All teachers, assistant teachers, head of departments, and Sunday School officers shall have the right to vote.
