^{Sunday School for ALL}

^{Since our beginning, Sunday School has been an important part of the Church of the Nazarene ministry.  The major purpose of the Sunday School is to help men, women, boys and girls to study God's Word, the Bible.  The Bible does not provide a "pat answer" for every need or problem ,but it does teach us how to live life as God planned for us to do.  Other purposes of the Sunday School are:}

• ^{To provide a "safe" setting in which people can share their joys and sorrows, their concerns, and their questions about life and the answers they discover.}

• ^{To help pupils discover how to grow as Christians by leading them to examine God's Word and apply it to their life experiences.}

• ^{To provide an opportunity for people to enjoy small-group fellowship with others who share their concerns and beliefs.}

^{In the Nazarene Sunday School, people have a weekly opportunity to meet with God, through the study of His Word, and to discover His guidance for their lives.}

^{Because people of different age-groups have different needs and different ways of learning, the Church of the Nazarene provides a graded Sunday School curriculum for all age levels.  The materials for each age-group or special -interest class are designed to help people study the Bible in the way that has the greatest potential for bringing about life-changing results.}

Reports in 1997 indicate that over 662 Nazarene missionaries and volunteers and more that 5,631 national pastors and workers in over 119 world area on six continents are proclaiming the transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ through a preaching, teaching and healing ministry.  In these areas there are over 6851 organized churches plus hundred of missions in 279 districts.  More that 10,407 students are trained in 35 Bible colleges and 21 extension centers.  Nazarenes gave in excess of $54 million, including General Budget and Mission Specials, for this widespread missionary outreach.

The Church of the Nazarene, from its inception, has been committed to higher education.  Throughout the world the church currently sponsors 59 institutions of higher education, including 9 liberal arts colleges, 2 graduate seminars, 43 Bible colleges, 3 nursing schools, a teacher training college. and a junior college.  Numerous Theological Education by Extension centers, and elementary and secondary schools also offer instruction at various levels.  In addition, Nazarene Student Fellowships are being established on many secular college and university campuses.

The various departments of the church create literature for Sunday School training, training of laity and ministers, Bible study, personal spiritual growth, and social concerns.  For over 85 years the Nazarene Publishing House has increasingly carried out its mission of providing "God's Word for Today's World" through Beacon Hill books.  WordAction Sunday School curriculum and Lillenas music.

Since 1944 the church has recognized its responsibility to use radio as a means of reaching the millions who do not benefit from easy access to the gospel.  Today the use of radio, video, television, and satellite represents a very important evangelistic tool.  Radio is used extensively in areas where the church has an established ministry.  It is also used to prepare areas for future entry and to help strengthen a new work.  There are over 50 different broadcasts in 42 languages and dialects, produced weekly, which give global coverage to the radio ministry of the church.  Television is being used successfully in several English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Russian world areas.  The newly launched Nazarene Communications Network provides satellite and Internet broadcasting worldwide.  These forms of communication give visibility, awareness and the message of hope in Jesus Christ through the many ministries of the Church of the Nazarene.
