Service Overview

The Seventh-day Adventist Church operates a weekly Bible study for all age groups in almost every church around the world. The Sabbath School program is a Bible-based study approximately 70 minutes long which nurtures spiritual growth in members and visitors who join in this time of study, fellowship, and outreach. Some of these Bible studies are catered to meet specific needs in the congregation or community.

The Sabbath School Department provides support to the churches in the Southeastern Conference to enhance their programs and training of Sabbath School teachers. Sabbath School is not just an event, but reinforces a life of Christian living and ministering to others.
