Sabbath School is not just a class for children; it is a dynamic and enriching spiritual educational experience designed for everyone within our community. Far beyond the misconception that it caters exclusively to the younger members, Sabbath School is a gathering where individuals of all ages come together to delve into the profound teachings of the Scriptures. It serves as a sanctuary for spiritual exploration and growth, offering a space where minds are enlightened, hearts are inspired, and lives are transformed.
Through engaging discussions, thoughtful reflections, and communal study, Sabbath School becomes a haven for those seeking a deeper understanding of the Word of God. It is a place where lifelong learners, from the youngest to the most seasoned, come together to share insights, ask questions, and cultivate a community bound by a shared love for spiritual discovery.
In Sabbath School, we not only embrace the educational aspect of our faith journey but also foster connections that strengthen the fabric of our spiritual family.

SABBATH SCHOOL SONG
.
Words by Elect Lady Mary Campbell, 1109 Prince Street, Beaufort, S.C.
To Be Sung in the Tune Of “We've Come This Far by Faith"
We're members of the Sabbath School, every Sabbath Morning.
This is the way we learn God's word, and all of His commandments.
We need His word to fight the devil, who's trying to block our way.
So come to Sabbath School, you will meet God there.
Please be on time for your own soul's sake, for Jesus was never late.
(Repeat)
