Make Room for Adult Sunday School
Posted by Julie Wenckowski on Nov 26th 2014
Your adult Sunday school program is growing. Great news—until you need to figure out where everyone will meet. Before you start planning an addition, take another look at your gym or fellowship hall. With a little separation, an open room could accommodate several groups.
That’s what Allegheny Center Alliance Church in Pittsburgh did. The church used Screenflex portable room dividers to turn its gym into additional adult Sunday school classrooms.
Start with the Room You Have
The church shared its gym floor plan with a Screenflex design consultant, who helped map out learning areas based on the available space and the number of people attending. Rather than guessing how many dividers would fit, the church had a layout to guide its purchase. The church also ordered its dividers in stages to work within its budget.
Make the Change Part of Your Routine
Sunday school is only one part of a busy church calendar. Once classes wrap up, portable dividers can roll aside, move to another room, or fold compactly for storage. The gym is ready for its next activity, and the dividers are ready for their next assignment.
That same flexibility comes in handy for small groups, volunteer training, and community programs. You can give each activity its own area, then rearrange things when the schedule changes.
