Many churches have enjoyed using the Sunday School fall launch materials Lifeway publishes each year.  The 2011 focus is Transformational Class: Transformational Church Goes to Sunday School. 

Transformational Class explores what a Sunday School class or small group might look like if it intentionally incorporated the seven elements discovered in the transformational church research project.

You may DOWNLOAD  free resources to teach the Transformational Class concepts to your Sunday School and discipleship ministry teams in the fall or throughout the year. Scross down the page to find teaching plans, presentations, and handouts for general ministry, preschool childhood, student, and adult applications. There is also a Transformational Class Emphasis Kit available for purchase. 

A free web simulcast from the summer Ridgecrest Sunday School weekend is also available for viewing or for download. You will also find presenters' handouts for download. You may view this presenation online, from a saved file, or email the link to workers who may choose to participate in the study as a group or as individuals. VIEW OR DOWNLOAD THE SIMULCAST HERE. (Note: This page may take a minute to load--longer with a slow connection. Please also keep in mind these archived presentations are often taken off line when the next year's fall launch materials are made public.)

You will also find previous years fall launch materials still available for download and use. These are found on the same web page as the training materials for all Sunday School leaders. These are normally listed in the right hand column. The previous emphases include:

• Great Expectations: Planting Seeds for Sunday School Growth
• The 3D Sunday School (first in a four-part series)
• I-6 Invite: A Six-Lane Strategy toward an Inviting Sunday School
• Connect3 - The Power of One Sunday School Class
• The Discover Triad: Three Facets of a Dynamic Sunday School Class
