Like the prayer leader and fellowship leader, the service leader is part of the class leadership team for a larger class. In a medium class, the class team (teacher, apprentice , outreach , member care , secretary, and greeters) will typically carry out these duties. In a small class, the six team members will share these duties. Check out Important Sunday School Leader Job Descriptions for a list of job descriptions.
Service
Service is a natural expression of growing and learning as a disciple. When we open the Bible, we encounter God in His Word, As a result of meeting God, we recognize the need to adjust our lives to Him and to His plans. Every encounter with Him enables us actively to care for Him, each other (John 13:34-35), our neighbor (Mark 12:31), and all nations (Matthew 28:19-20). What does a class service leader do?
LEADS THE CLASS TO…
- Prayerfully look for opportunities to serve the community, state, nation, and world
