I thought my wife and I were doing a great job teaching an adult Sunday school class. Our class was established, attendance was regular, the class felt like a community. But when a pastor confronted me on why the class hadn't taken on a new member in three years, I was shocked. My wife and I decided to make our class more visitor-friendly. Here's what we did along the way.
Visitors to an adult Sunday school class usually come because they have tried the worship hour, liked it, and are looking for deeper involvement. Bible study happens many places, but accepting new members begins in Sunday school. Set a modest goal for your classes: Have one visitor feel accepted and return. "Accepted" is defined as never having to feel or say, "I'm an outsider."
