Abstract

This thesis-project is a two-phase curriculum which addresses what Shiloh Baptist Church Sunday School has to do to attract, nurture and retain church members. Shiloh is an old, traditional, southern black Baptist institution whose historical prominence emerged because of her dynamic Christian education ministry, of which Sunday School had dwindled to nil. Eager to revitalize the Christian education ministry and energize the persons of auxiliaries and ministry leaders, the pastor petitioned to boost a dying ministry. An initiative involving all church leaders was launched to address the Christian education needs of Shiloh. The timeline for this project was originally six weeks, but developed into an additional seven weeks to more effectively meet the objectives of the project. Phase I of the project focused on assessing the Christian education ministry, defining roles and leadership training. Phase II specifically concentrated on Sunday School teacher training centered on biblical background knowledge, Christian doctrine, teaching methods and addressed a variety of learning styles. This project resulted in a Christian education curriculum within which leadership development and church school teacher training were key efforts in realizing the project's objective.
