As churches began regathering, several realized the opportunity for reaching people through Bible study. At the center of this movement was Arthur Flake. He understood that the ongoing Bible study ministry (what he called Sunday School) was the local church’s greatest tool for executing evangelism and discipleship, and thus, accomplishing the Great Commission. He led and structured Sunday School accordingly.
This book looks at the principles followed by Flake that helped churches regather and grow their ongoing Bible study groups. Today’s leaders and teachers can learn from Flake as they begin to meet again and reestablish their ongoing Bible study groups as tools for reaching their communities with the gospel and discipling believers.
