Parents, You Are The Teachers Every congregation with whom I have been associated utilizes Bible classes for all ages among them as a means of preaching the Gospel and edifying the church. Well-ordered and systematic Bible teaching is a must for growing Christians and every family needs Bible instruction. No one doubts these congregational efforts CAN be a blessing to the church.

They are a cooperative effort between…
