This department is the Primary religious education system of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Its main purposes include: study of the scripture, fellowship, community outreach and world mission emphasis. Each week time is spent learning from scriptures and from each other. “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.”—CSW 10, 11.
