The following official Church resources can help you teach the gospel. As part of your orientation as a newly called teacher, you should be given a copy of all needed resources. You can also order materials from the Church’s Online Distribution Center. Talk to your Sunday School presidency or ward clerk before ordering, as they may have additional copies of materials available for your use.
- The scriptures. You should have a copy of the scriptures. If not, arrange to borrow a copy from the meetinghouse library until you can acquire your own copy.
- Teacher’s manual. Each Sunday School course has an official teacher’s manual. Links to the manuals are found on the Teacher’s Home Page.
- Class member study guide. The class member study guide for the course, if available, should be given to each class member. Links to the study guides are found on the Teacher’s Home Page.
- Teaching, No Greater Call. A resource book called Teaching, No Greater Call contains guidelines and suggestions relating to teaching. The book is broken into numerous small segments. You may wish to study one or two segments each week to become familiar with these additional learning and teaching resources. Review “How to Use This Resource Guide” at the beginning of the manual for a very helpful orientation.
- Class attendance roll. Your leaders will help you obtain a copy of the class attendance roll listing the names of all Church members who should attend the class, regardless of whether they attend or not. This form can be printed by a ward clerk from the Member and Leader Services (MLS) software, or a clerk can order blank copies of the form.
- Meetinghouse library. Contact your ward librarian, visit your meetinghouse library, and discuss with the librarian what resource materials are available in the library or online to assist you in learning and teaching the gospel.
- Sunday School Web site. The pages on this Sunday School section of Serving in the Church have many resources for teachers and leaders.
