To disciple children in their Holy Apostolic Church faith by teaching and modeling traits of Bible reading, fellowship, and prayer Rev. Fr. Padavupurakkal Thomas alias Kuruvilachan started an organization namely Gospel Children Shining Light Sunday School in 1905.

The first known syllabus was prepared by late Mar Abimalek Timotheus Metropolitan in 1914. Later modifications were done by our priests in various years. The syllabus involves bible study, church history, Patrology and Syriac language. A constitution for the organization came in to effect on June 13, 1998. Now we have a committee elected from Sunday School Teachers and a Secretary nominated by the Metropolitan. The period of the committee lasts for two years.
