Sunday School ministry plays a pivotal role in introducing Jesus Christ as a Saviour to the children. As a children's pastor, Sunday School's teacher must have specific criteria to make the ministry grow even better. This research method is qualitative, followed by the descriptive analysis along with literature review toward the text in Ezekiel 34:11-16 "God, the True Shepherd (NKJV)." The study obtains three manners of God as a shepherd: God is gathering the scattered sheep, giving comforts to the sheep, and giving a proper rescue for each sheep. Leaning on those manners will lead the children's ministry in the church.AbstrakPelayanan Sekolah Minggu dinilai penting untuk memperkenalkan Yesus Kristus sebagai Juruselamat kepada anak-anak.
