One-Room Sunday School Workshop

A Practical Training for Episcopal & Lutheran Faith Formation Leaders

Many congregations serve children of all ages with limited space and volunteers. This 3-hour, hands-on training is designed to equip clergy, lay leaders, and Sunday School teachers from Episcopal parishes and Lutheran congregations with the tools and confidence to run a one-room Sunday School that is joyful, engaging, and theologically grounded.

Rooted in our shared commitments to baptismal identity, Scripture, and faith formation within community, this workshop offers a simple, repeatable framework for teaching mixed-age groups (Pre-K through middle school) in a single space. Participants will experience modeled lessons, engage in collaborative planning, and practice practical strategies that can be adapted for a wide range of parish and congregational settings.

This workshop is ideal for:

• Sunday School teachers and volunteers
• Clergy and lay formation leaders
• Episcopal parishes and Lutheran congregations
• Small or multi-age faith formation programs

Participants will leave with:

• A clear structure for leading a one-room Sunday School
• Practical strategies for engaging children of multiple ages together
• Sample prayers, lesson templates, and planning tools
• Encouragement and support for sustainable faith formation ministry

No prior experience is required—only a willingness to learn, share, and grow together in ministry.
