More Than a Collection of Online Courses

A Sunday School University Church Subscription gives the church’s disciple leader the tools to plan, implement, and manage an ongoing strategy of leadership development in their church. Through a Sunday School University Church Subscription, you can build the team, plan the training, communicate the plan, monitor the progress, and acknowledge the accomplishments.

Build the Team. The moment you purchase a Church Subscription, you become the organizer of a new Sunday School University Group. You then determine WHO will be in that group. It can be anyone or everyone on your leadership team. Sunday School University then facilitates communication among team members through a fully-functional social media platform that is exclusive to those YOU invite into the group.

Plan the Training. Identify the courses you want your team to take as well as the preferred sequence and pace of course completion (if any), plus deadlines. You can encourage the entire group to follow the same plan, or customize a unique plan for each team member. Or do some of both! YOU determine the leadership development strategy for YOUR team. And remember, once you’ve purchased the subscription, all Sunday School University courses are free for ALL of those you place in the group. You can even create your own courses exclusively for your leadership team! All at no additional cost!

Communicate the Plan. Once you’ve crafted the development plan for your leaders, it’s time to communicate your expectations to them. Yes, you can certainly use email, but communicating through your Sunday School University Group facilitates a broader conversation in a context that already carries a significant and higher level of accountability. It is a virtual gathering place with group dynamics that can’t be replicated in a simple email campaign.

Monitor the Progress. The Artos Learning Platform automatically tracks each person’s progress in each course. Your Sunday School University Church Subscription enables you to see how each leader in your group is progressing in their individual training. And because much of the available training is virtual, your leaders’ participation isn’t dependent on attendance at a particular location and time, although you can conduct live events if you wish. Your leaders choose the time and place while YOU are able to monitor their progress.

Acknowledge the Accomplishments. The Artos Learning Platform provides you with the ability to issue Certificates of Completion for everyone in the group to see and celebrate. These can be issued for a single course or a series of courses. They can be issued to an individual or a group. Of course, you will want to celebrate these accomplishments in an appropriate setting at your church, but remember, your church’s Sunday School University Group will foster a team spirit among your leaders. This is the ideal place to acknowledge a leader’s accomplishments in a way that encourages the entire leadership team.

Your Sunday School University Church Subscription is so much more than a collection of great online courses. Here you can manage your leadership team’s training and development in a way that has never been possible before!
