Online Classes offered by The Mother Church Sunday School

Sunday School class

All youth should have the opportunity and privilege of attending a Christian Science Sunday School. In an effort to make this a reality, The Mother Church has opened its loving arms to embrace those young “sincere seekers of Truth” in remote areas of the world where there is no branch church or society to attend. We have been careful to follow all the Church Manual by-laws, and to follow the legal obligations involved with serving youth on the Internet and using copy-righted materials.

The effort began in the late spring of 2008, when The Mother Church Sunday School stepped out onto the Internet with an online class for teens. Since then, as the word has slowly spread, we have had several opportunities to include different age groups and additional class times. So far, we’ve had students attend from Brazil, England, Iceland, Indonesia, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Qatar, South Africa, USA, and Zimbabwe.

We are sure there are more students who can be benefited by these efforts, and we are now ready to make these online classes more widely known. We welcome your prayers, and sharing of this opportunity with friends and family who know of young people who might want to participate. We have started looking into the possibility of classes in languages other than English, but have not yet been able to launch them – stay tuned!

By strengthening and nurturing these young Scientists we are shoring up our church’s foundation, and encouraging development of Christian Science globally. In this process we are working diligently to support branches. We have even successfully brought a few students back to their local churches. For those disenchanted students who can get to a branch but for one reason or another are not attending, sometimes bringing them online can encourage them back into the fold. In these cases, our goal is to fan that smoldering ember of Truth, get them engaged, and set them back in the branch church or society.

As always, we love to hear about branches who are growing their Sunday Schools (and Sunday Schools who are growing their branches), so please share the fruitage with us via phone, email, or on the Sunday School discussion forums on tmcyouth.com!
