The aim of the research project was to develop promotional strategies that would stimulate the members of Holy Temple Church to come to Sunday School on a regular basis. The researcher believed if the members of Holy Temple Church attended Sunday School frequently, they could be instructed in the principles of God. He also believed that a commitment to attend a weekly Sunday morning nurturing class in God's Word, prior to the worship service, creates an atmosphere that is conducive for people to praise and worship God. The conclusion was drawn that if members are offered incentives for regular Sunday School attendance, they can be motivated to come.
