Sabbath School

Any church growth depends on the effectiveness of its Sabbath school Department.The members are nurtured by Sabbath school and strengthened and matured by divine services, but unless one sees our situation it is difficult to believe that our evangelism programmes are hampered by space to accommodate the new members. We are certain that God will bless His church with new converts at any evangelism program. Our present classes are held on the pavement with fast cars passing by. Thank God for his protection.

The Sabbath School is the primary religious education system of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and has four purposes: study of the Scripture, fellowship, community outreach, and world mission emphasis. “The Sabbath school is an important branch of the missionary work, not only because it gives to young and old a knowledge of God’s word, but because it awakens in them a love for its sacred truths, and a desire to study them for themselves; above all, it teaches them to regulate their lives by its holy teachings.”—Counsels on Sabbath School Work, pp. 10, 11.

“The Sabbath school, if rightly conducted, is one of God’s great instrumentalities to bring souls to a knowledge of the truth.”—Counsels on Sabbath School Work, p. 115.
