Receiving / Attending

Who can come to Sunday School?

Anyone up to the age of twenty (1) is welcome to attend any of our Sunday School classes.  You don’t have to be a Christian Scientist or have Christian Scientists as parents to spend time in a great place–a school for healers!

Where can I find a Sunday School?

Call a First Church of Christ, Scientist near you to inquire about Sunday School. They would be glad to hear from you

How are we preparing for students?

Prayerfully, with lessons adapted to each individual student. See some of the resources below and discussion forums for examples.

Online resources:

• Podcast interviews and live chats with superintendents, teachers and students about their Sunday School experiences/ideas/recommendations
• Discussion forums about receiving and attending to students

Manual Reference:

(1) "The Sunday School. Section 1. Pupils may be received in the Sunday School classes of any Church of Christ, Scientist, up to the age of twenty years, and by transfer from another Church of Christ, Scientist, up to that age, but no pupil shall remain in the Sunday School of any Church of Christ, Scientist, after reaching the age of twenty. None except the officers, teachers, and pupils should attend the Sunday School exercises."
