Why Sunday School?
At Good Shepherd, Sunday School is an avenue of ministry that seeks to help root God's people in the Gospel as we "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18). This rhythm of growth is meant to extend outward and upward—reflecting His kingdom and reaching our city.
Through Sunday School, we hope to better equip all those in our church with a deeper understanding of the gospel and the implications it holds for each of our lives. During this time, we offer Sunday School for all ages, including a Communicants' Class for those who have made a profession of faith or are seeking to profess faith, as well as a Foundations Class, which explores church membership and the vision and theology that shape our church.

The Foundations and Communicants class both have a consistent curriculum. Both of them focus on justification, sanctification, the sacrements, and church membership.
Foundations
Church Membership: Our Vision, Theology, & Practice
This 6-week class, led by Pastor Morgan and our Elders, is for any and all who want to dig deeper into the life and mission of our church. We will be looking at who we are, what we believe, and where we are headed as a church. If you are new to Good Shepherd, this class is for you. If you are interested in church membership, this class is for you. If you have attended regularly and want a clearer picture of what we are about and how to get involved, this class is for you.
Communicants
Understanding the Faith & Church Membership
This is a 6-week class for those 8 years and older who have either made a profession of faith and are seeking full-membership (participate in the Lord’s Supper) into the church, or those who are preparing to make a profession of faith. This class will explore justification, sanctification, glorification, church membership, and the Lord’s Supper.
