Children’s Ministry
Officially established by the Synod in 1909, the Sunday School (Sekoly Alahady) holds a significant historical and cultural importance as it is known to have been the first of its form of ministry in the Christian community in Madagascar. This pioneering institution has played a vital role in ministering to the spiritual needs of young children and teenagers, fostering a strong foundation of faith and values within the community.
The Sunday School focuses on providing a nurturing and educational environment for the youth, offering an established program that is implemented throughout the diocese. Through a thoughtful curriculum and dedicated teachers, the Sunday School aims to instill biblical teachings and moral guidance into the lives of children, shaping their understanding of Christianity and their place within the church.
Moreover, recognizing the importance of equipping teachers with the necessary skills and resources, the Diocese provides continuous support to Sunday School teachers across the diocese by offering comprehensive trainings. These trainings are designed to empower teachers with effective methodologies, educational materials, and spiritual guidance, thereby enhancing their ability to positively influence the lives of the children under their care.
The commitment to the spiritual and moral development of the younger generation through the Sunday School is a testament to the enduring impact of this ministry on the Christian community in Madagascar, and it continues to be a beacon of hope and guidance for generations to come.
