Adult Teachers

Sunday School Leaders, welcome to your corner of the Woodridge web page! If you are a teacher, coordinator, fellowship leader, or caregroup leader, we've got resources for you. This is the place to check for updates on adult Sunday School-related announcements, to find links that will allow you to explore possible curriculum for your class, and more!

General Announcements:

Online Training is Coming Soon: Over the last several months, we have been Beta testing a new online training format from our friends at RightNow.org. It is a fantastic new tool to keep your leadership skills developing over the long-haul. Mark and Shawn will be sending you information on this soon.

4xfour Curriculum in October: For the month of October, Bro. Greg has asked us to have a special emphasis on 4xfour, Woodridge's method of personal evangelism. Mark and Shawn have written five sessions to cover the five Sundays in October. All adult classes will be using this material. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE .PDF DOCUMENT.

Don't let community slip: It's really easy to let relationships falter during the summer months, but make sure you keep your group going strong by getting together to hang out at least once this Summer. Not only will it keep you in touch with your class, it will also give you a stronger start in the Fall. A few tips for your class fun-time: 1) it doesn't have to be elaborate. Sometimes simple is better. Gather at a park, everyone bring a picnic, and watch all the kids play. 2) Invite new people, even during the summer. An informal setting like a class party is a great introduction to the group. 3) Have fun!

Now supporting Apple products: We recently purchased cords to connect your iPad/Macbook to our televisions. If you need one of these specialty items, please let us know and we'll have it in your meeting room, ready to go!

Video of the Month:

Each month, we'll post a video to help you have a better small group experience. This month's featured video: our instructional video on how to administer the Christian Growth Survey.
