Religious Instruction – Wilston State School
Grange Baptist Church are eagerly seeking volunteer teachers in order to reboot the RI programme at Wilston State School.
As an unchurched kid, the first time I can remember hearing the gospel was from Mr Frisbee in grade 7 CRI (Christians Religious Instruction) at my state primary school. That led to a conversation at home with my backslidden step dad, which brought us to church occasionally where more of the gospel came my way, which brought me to repentance and faith in Jesus at 16. Needless to say, I reckon that if schools are inviting us in to teach God’s word to the kids, and 70% of the Wilston State School parents are opting them in (which they are), then that’s an opportunity not to let slip by us easily.
But we need volunteer teachers in order to pull it off.
Classes are likely to start from term 2, and they are weekly, on Fridays, from 2-3pm. Teachers typically teach two 30-minute classes, back to back, of the same age group, and so are repeating the same content. The syllabus is via the Sydney Anglicans and is solid, and training is provided.
If you think you can help us out by either 1) being a teacher yourself, or 2) putting out an announcement at your church or Bible college, I’d love to hear from you!
With love in Christ,
Luke Jenkin
