We have an opportunity to work together as local churches to legally provide Bible Classes for children in public schools during the school day as long as:
-
The program is held off site of school premises,
-
No government funds are used, and
-
Parental permission is acquired.
Our public school systems are interested in this concept. Several association churches are located near schools. This meeting will help us begin the process of learning about this God-sized opportunity. We can work together by praying, giving, serving, and networking to provide Bible classes for children. This will help children form a biblical worldview and establish a moral, ethical and spiritual foundation for their lives which is found in Christ. Schools are strengthened by experiencing better attendance, better student behavior, and higher academic performance.
This may be the greatest ministry opportunity our association has ever had to work together to impact our community for Christ. The Nash county School Board has approved support for this ministry working with public schools. The NC State legislature is in the process of considering support for this ministry partnership statewide.
Christy Smith, Nash County LifeWise Administrator will be sharing a 45 minute video about this ministry opportunity in mid July for NRBA churches. (Specific date and time will be announced soon). It will require time for churches to be informed about this ministry and determine how they can be involved. This is the beginning for us to learn, pray, think, and discuss what God would have us to do as part of this ministry.
