Mission of Sabbath School
The mission of the Sabbath School is to
be a system of local church
Religious education that builds faith
and practice. Based at the local
Church, Sabbath School builds faith
through the study of the
Scriptures and the doctrines and
teachings of the Seventh-day
Adventist Church. It builds practice
through the application of
Biblical principles of the Seventh-day
Adventist Church to the
individual lives of the Sabbath School
members.
A primary mission of Sabbath School is
to teach members how to
work for the Lord, reach people
successfully,
and share God's grace and truth. (Sabbath School Handbook, p 1)
The most successful Sabbath Schools
include elements of outreach
and soul winning. Sabbath Schools
should be one of the "the greatest
instrumentalities, and most effectual,
in bringing souls to Christ."
(Counsels on Sabbath School Work, p.
10).

Children's Division
Children's Division is about developing the faith of children ages
birth to fourteen. While Sabbath School provides for religious education once a
week, Children's Division looks at the whole child and seeks to provide
multiple ministries that will lead children to Jesus and disciple them in their
daily walk with Him.
