Our mission is to strengthen multi-vocational pastors and the churches they lead.

Great Day Sunday 2025

Pastors,

We will be having our yearly “Great Day Sunday High Attendance Day in Sunday School” on October 26, 2025, and hoping that all will participate. This is a great tool you can use to mobilize the church to be actively inviting the unchurched to attend. On October 26, 2025, churches across the state will join together in reaching people for Christ. Sunday school has long been recognized as an effective means to mobilize the church to reach the unchurched.

Great Day Sunday is a simple plan to implement because it uses elements that most churches are already familiar with. The goal is to have great attendance, great fellowship in Sunday school, and the worship service. Over fifty-three churches participated in 2023. I would like to see that number double in 2025.

Throughout Oklahoma Baptists’ history, we have used high-attendance campaigns as a tool in the effort of evangelism. We should never underestimate what God can do in a lost person when they hear the gospel taught and preached. It is my hope that you can use this tool to cultivate a desire in the hearts of your church members to be busy inviting people to Sunday school and worship. Plan Great Day Sunday with the expectation that God will do a mighty work in and through your church.

In His Name,
Dr. Philip Jones
