Has your Sunday School attendance leveled off…or even decreased? How can you turn that around?

The 5-Step Formula for Sunday School Growth is a strategy based on the works of Arthur Flake. His work with Sunday Schools in the early 1900s led to the development of a formula for building and growing a Sunday School.

David Francis, director of Sunday School at LifeWay Christian Resources, reminds us that this formula still works today. A simple acrostic can help you remember it: "KEEP Go."

* Know the possibilities

* Enlarge the organization

* Enlist and train the workers

* Provide the space

* Go after the people

In our annual focus on Children & Youth, we provide some important considerations as you evaluate and select a Sunday School curriculum for these younger age groups within your congregation.

I’m always interested in hearing from you. You can reach me at jill@rpnmag.com.
