Sunday School Goals and Learning Objectives
This document outlines the goals and learning objectives designed to create a strong foundation in basic Christian tenets as well as the New Apostolic doctrine, while encouraging joy in serving, participation in congregational life, and discipleship. Our aim is to foster spiritual growth, promote values of kindness, empathy, and understanding, and instill a love for learning about faith and its application in daily life. These goals and objectives are crafted to support a child's holistic growth—spiritually, intellectually, and emotionally—within a welcoming and supportive congregation. Sunday School and Religious instruction lessons are created to support these goals and learning objectives through the use of Bible study and application, activities, crafts, and games. You can find this document on the Lessons landing page on NDI by clicking HERE.
Faith Arc Delegates
We are excited to announce that each Apostle has a Faith Arc delegate to better support local ministers and volunteers. The Faith Arc delegate is an individual or in some cases a couple who has been trained to support the Apostle, district rector, or rectors with any questions, procedures, or timelines that are Faith Arc related. Children and Youth leaders can also reach out to the Faith Arc Delegate of their region with questions about Sunday School, Religious Instruction, Confirmation, or Youth. Below you can find the name of the delegate for your region and their contact information:

Pan American Youth Summit
In August of 2024, Chief Apostle Schneider is coming to Canada for a youth weekend. Youth and young adults from Canada, the US, Argentina, Australia, and Germany have been invited.
Navigating the increasingly complex logistics of international travel, particularly with minors, presents unique challenges. As a result, NAC-USA will not be coordinating travel or group arrangements for next year’s Pan-American Youth Summit in Canada.
In alignment with how international church events have been managed over the past decade, our focus is to share information about this opportunity with young adults, aged 18 and older, so they can determine if they would like to participate. Participants will be responsible for their travel arrangements and costs. Additionally, the registration fee for USA participants is $299.

With love and joy,
