Guidelines for Culturally Responsive Support - NEW
NEW on the Sunday School and Religious Instruction Lessons’ landing page of the ndi.nac-usa.org website, is a document titled “Guidelines for Culturally Responsive Support”. This document outlines strategies and supports to ensure children with limited English proficiency can fully engage in the NAC USA Sunday School, Religious Instruction, and Youth curriculum. These practices, though not exhaustive, seek to actively encourage participation in congregational life, ensure access to the teaching of the gospel and the New Apostolic doctrine in a comprehensive way, while providing robust support to the children/youth during their transition to the NAC USA. We aim to honor each person's culture, without any intention of taking it away. Our purpose is to embrace and cherish every soul, fostering a loving environment where the sharing of cultures becomes a supportive element in our collective journey towards becoming the bride of Christ.
