The strategic plan for St. Paul's Church Sunday School from 2025 to 2030 aims to enhance educational experiences through improved curriculum and teaching methods. For example, conducting surveys with students, parents, and teachers will gather valuable feedback to tailor educational content. Integrating the latest educational technologies can make classes more interactive and engaging, while regular teacher workshops will ensure innovative methods are continuously adopted. Service-learning components, like community service tied to Biblical teachings, offer practical learning.
The plan also emphasizes increased community involvement, such as hosting open house events and developing partnerships with local schools. Engaging students and families in community service projects enhances outreach. Using social media platforms will highlight Sunday School's achievements and foster community connections.
To expand facilities and resources, a facilities audit will identify needs for improvement. Fundraising will support infrastructure upgrades, while researching successful designs will modernize the environment. Technological enhancements facilitate digital learning, and sustainable practices reflect stewardship. Partnerships with local businesses can offer additional resources, ensuring facilities continue to support learning needs.
