Sunday schools began as schools for the poor. They were created in England around the year 1780. The schools provided rudimentary instruction to working people on their free day. By the 1790's there were several of these schools in the United States.
The Sunday school is one of the best ways of teaching the word of God. The goal of Sunday School is to help teachers serving in a Children's Ministry or a Sunday School class teach children what the Bible says about God and the way He wants us to live.
