Abstract

This project uses the self-referent case study method to examine the numerically declining Sunday School in the Western North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church. Three disciplines, Christian education, church growth, and organizational development are used to inform reflection on the project. The conclusion of the reflection is that if the Sunday School is to be a vital Christian organization, it must more closely approximate the Anglican Volunteer Religious Societies from which it began. The present shape of the Sunday School in the United Methodist Church and other mainline liberal denominations does not fit the volunteer society mold.
