At Lister Hill we have a thriving Sunday School comprising of 7 classes. The children join us in worship between 10:30 and 11am before they join their classes, returning for refreshments at 12:15pm. We use the "Light" material from Scripture Union as the basis for our teaching.

OUR VISION FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL
For the children:
- For each child to grow into a deeper relationship with God the Father, develop a personal passion for Jesus and know the power of the Holy Spirit working in his/her life.
- For every child within Sunday School to encounter Jesus in every lesson and grow spiritually from a "little acorn" into a strong "oak tree".
- For all children to be discipled from the "same loaf" as the adults, just broken down into smaller pieces to make it easier for them to "digest".
- For the children to mentor and be positive witnesses for each other.
- For each child to be and feel safe and secure within his/her group(s).
- For each child to have leaders that they can talk with and trust.
For the families:
- For every new parent to be made welcome by Sunday School staff and given clear information.
For the leaders & assistants:
- For each leader/assistant to feel positive and confident in his/her role.
- For each leader/assistant to feel supported and encouraged
- For each leader to be clear on all systems/structures
We will seek to meet this vision as a Sunday School team through:
- Plenty of prayer!
- Well prepared and well taught sessions appropriately pitched
- Encouraging children to mentor each other
- Making ourselves available for children to talk to
- Use of positive systems and structures
- Good communication between leaders
- Effective training for leaders and assistants
