Abstract

This study evaluates the Junior Church programme at the Nairobi Pentecostal Church (NPC). Its focus is on the programme’s aims and objectives, learning activities, ! programme planning and implementation, personnel and facilities. Data collection involved an oral interview with the Junior Church head of department, a written questionnaire filled by 15 teachers or 50% of the Junior Church teachers, the researcher's classroom observations and the written records of the Junior Church programme. Important features of this study are the recommendations it offers to improve the Nairobi Pentecostal Junior Church programme based on a review of the available literature on Junior Church programmes, and the knowledge it adds in the field of Christian Education.
