Sabbath School and Personal Ministry
Sabbath School is discipleship through religious education-and so much more. In seeking to meet the spiritual formation needs of its members, it features emphases in fellowship, outreach, Bible study, and mission and provides a rich spiritual environment in practical, everyday settings. In Sabbath School, there's something for everyone and everything for you and for people all around you!
Women's Ministry
The Department of Women's Ministries exists to uphold, encourage and challenge Adventist women in their pilgrimage as disciples of Jesus Christ and members of His world church. In the fullness found personally in Jesus Christ, women may be empowered to share the good news within their own families, among fellow believers and in ever expanding circles in the unsaved world.
Adventist Youth
"To save from sin and guide into service:" this true and only motive, so complete and impressive, was adopted during the 1926 General Conference session. To obtain the salvation of the youth it is necessary to give them every possible opportunity to participate in all Adventist youth activities. By keeping youth actively preparing for more efficient service, they are protected from evil. It is necessary to place them in some activity as soon as they are ready. "Seeking the good of others is the way in which true happiness can be found" (Counsels on Stewardship, p. 24). The enemy will not prevail against youth who are actively engaged in the things of God.
