Great Expectations
Great Expectations: Planting Seeds for Sunday School Growthasks the question: What do you expect from your Sunday School ministry? LifeWay Sunday School director David Francis answers that question with a book and accompanying set of training materials that teach the concept of making Sunday School the “second step” in your church’s disciple-making process. Striking a balance between biblical community and biblical content, a Great Expectations Sunday School will bridge the gap between the influence of small groups and discipleship groups in your church.
