The Lutheran Church And Its Sunday School

By Kristen Baird


Strengthened with faith and molded with the Christian views, it truly feels great to be in the walk of Jesus. While a significant number of individuals are moved by His grace, several others think God as a plain myth to whom the weak finds strength in troubled times. Questions of His existence are ceaseless but what is there to ask if His love for humans has made manifest for a million times? Today, an increasing number of people are becoming less religious; worse, even becoming non-believers.

By far, Christianity is the largest religion and one of its oldest denominations is Protestantism. To be part of the discipleship is something which brings genuine happiness to those who are ruled by Christian religious conviction although some of its critical values are subtly disregarded for years by the younger generation. Nevertheless, church leaders are keen on bringing back the lost values by implementing programs for which the Lutheran church Wilmington is actively involved.

Lutheranism was started by the late Martin Luther, a friar in the Order of the Augustinian Recollects who later on referred to as the Father of the Reformation. The principles of Lutheranism are basically extracted from the beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. Baptism is a huge part of this religious movement which is why believing adults and infants are required to be baptized.

Anyway, for individuals who wish to help retain the values of Jesus through gathering the lost flock, it would be a wise idea to become teachers in Sunday schools. Besides, these are so much easier than any regular schools. Volunteer teachers do not need to prepare daily quizzes for the students nor send them to school educational trips where lessons are better explained.

Catechism is fun. Not only will students be introduced to divinity of God, they can also make plenty of friends from the church. And what can be more interesting than knowing not only the religious aspects of life but also how to make it more exciting through the people around?

There are countless churches out there with a great need for volunteers. The thing is, interested individuals might have to serve longer hours whenever necessary. Volunteers, however, are going to be asked about their preferred time before agreeing to the volunteer work.

An initial background investigation during the application will be done but applicants do not have to worry about it. And if there is nothing to hide, then they should not be afraid. This, however, needs them to become members of the denomination. If not, that does not restrict them from being one, though.

Being a volunteer teacher does not mean an aspirant needs to be completely committed to all religious activities. Applicants should know that volunteers will be there to serve their community not than the mendicants in raising money for themselves. Of course, they could if they wanted to.

There is a huge difference between volunteering to teach and to be on a mission. For those interested in the Sunday school, they do not need to be sent somewhere unless they ask for it. And besides, they cannot be anywhere without the approval of the entire ministry as well.
