Bible Learning
Discovering Scripture through stories, discussion, reflection and lessons that connect faith with everyday life.
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”Matthew 19:14
Growing Together in Faith
Sunday School is an important part of the Christian education ministry of St. Pauls Mar Thoma Syrian Church, Vashi. It provides a welcoming environment where children can discover the Bible, learn about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, ask questions, develop friendships and grow in faith.
Through age-appropriate learning, prayer and fellowship, Sunday School encourages children to put Christian values into practice at home, at school, in the parish and in the wider community.
Our Focus
Prayer & Worship
Helping children develop habits of prayer, understand Christian worship and participate meaningfully in the life of the Church.
Christian Values
Encouraging kindness, honesty, compassion, gratitude, respect and responsibility as expressions of Christian faith.
Fellowship & Creativity
Building friendships and confidence through music, group activities, creative learning and opportunities to share talents.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
Christian education extends beyond weekly lessons. Children can deepen their understanding of faith through Bible reading, worship participation, songs, fellowship, service-oriented activities and other parish programmes as arranged from time to time.
Parents, teachers and the wider parish community play a shared role in supporting each child’s spiritual growth. Their encouragement helps connect Sunday School learning with daily life.
Our Sunday School Heritage
Sunday School at St. Paul’s, Vashi, began in 1988 with six teachers and thirty students. Dr. (Miss) Grace Mathews served as the first Headmistress. In its early years, classes also served children from different parts of Navi Mumbai, helping establish a foundation for Christian education in the growing region.
Over the years, Sunday School children and teachers have contributed to the parish through Bible learning, Christmas carols, Vacation Bible School, fellowship and acts of service. This history continues to inspire the ministry’s commitment to the next generation.
A Place for Every Child
Sunday School seeks to help each child feel valued, welcomed and encouraged to learn. Children and families interested in participating are invited to contact the parish for the latest class arrangements, age groups and programme details.
