The Sabbath School Department is primarily concerned with training and equipping Sabbath School teachers, leaders and superintendents to effectively teach and train in their local churches. The term 'Sabbath School' refers to a Bible study and discussion programme held in Seventh-day Adventist churches, usually on Saturday mornings. The aim of the Sabbath School Department is to facilitate spiritual growth through systematic Bible study, meaningful fellowship, gift-based community outreach, and worldwide mission emphasis.
"Sabbath School is one of the most important parts of Sabbath. It gives us the opportunity for fellowship, mission understanding, outreach and one of the greatest parts, Bible study and discussion. What a privilege to be able to study our Bible and the Adult Bible Study Guide in a small group setting and make the wonderful biblical instructions practical for our spiritual experience the next week. No one should miss Sabbath School!" Ted N C Wilson, president, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists
