The Sabbath School and Personal Ministries department is the major setting for religious education in the Adventist Church. The department provides Sabbath School Bible Study Guides, designs material for Sabbath School programming, offers training and resources to teachers and members, coordinates support for world missions, and designs programs and resources to help those areas of the world where church growth is limited. Above all, it teaches and proclaims the gospel of Jesus Christ in response to the command of Jesus, in the context of the three angels' messages of Revelation 14:6-12.
