Anchored in Faith, Growing in Impact

DAP Sunday School (DAP SS)

SBCC Sunday School Seminar

One of the significant new programs of Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP) is the establishment of Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) Sunday Schools. This initiative was pioneered by MMP in three churches at the Leto Center in Crame, Quezon City.

This seminar will be held in the venue where the first DAP Sunday School facilitated by MMP was established, serving as living models of best practice.
