Sabbath School is a function of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the Seventh-Day Baptist Church, the Seventh-Day Church, several other sabbatarian denominations, usually consisting of song service and Bible study lessons on the Sabbath. Usually held before church services on Saturday mornings, but this may vary.

Activity
Sabbath school usually starts at 9:30 am or 10:00 am on Saturday morning before the service starts. Sabbath School services for adults usually have two parts. The first part begins with the song service, followed by mission emphasis and short talk. The second part, and larger, is the lesson study. Churches run Sabbath Schools in many ways, mostly teaching on the same topic or reading in a week, as each quarter of the year has a different theme that reflects the lifestyle teachings of the Bible, doctrine, or church. Lesson booklets are called "quarterly".
Sabbath Schools can be performed in a large class, or the congregation can be separated into smaller groups for discussion in the sanctuary or in different rooms. Participation is not limited to Church members. Young people often meet separately. After the Sabbath School, church services begin, usually at 11.00.
On the last Sabbath of the quarter, or the 13th Sabbath, special collections were taken for missionary projects. During the "13th Sabbath Program," children can present music or special acts based on the subject they are studying or explain the traditions and clothing in the clothing of the countries or regions of the world to which the collected offerings will be profitable. Communion services preceded by foot washing can occur on or right after the 13th Sabbath.
A worldwide worldwide survey of local church leaders estimated that 67% of Adventists, including 63% of under-18s, "attend Sabbath School almost every week".

Teacher
Sabbath School teachers are usually laypeople chosen by a designated coordinator, committee, or committee. Typically, elections are based on the perception of character and the ability to teach the Bible rather than formal training in education, although some Sabbath School teachers have an educational background as a result of their work. Some churches offer courses in teaching, or holding a teacher class to discuss lessons for the Sabbath; other churches allow volunteers who create a profession of faith to teach without training.

Adult lessons
Adult church members are provided with the Adult Bible Study Guide (formerly known as Sabbath School Quarterly ) published four times a year. This is also known as "Quarterly" and "Lessons". It is published by the Pacific Press Publishing Association. The Sabbath School School is a Bible study guide covering a specific topic or Bible book every quarter. The quarterly report is designed to be read for a week, so during Sabbath School class members are ready to discuss the questions and topics raised in the lessons in small groups. The Adult Sabbath School always focuses on the Bible. All Seventh-day Adventists worldwide use the same Sabbath School every three months, translated into required languages ââ(with some exceptions such as Germany, where members cover the same topics as different material). In 2012, adult Sabbath School lesson editor is Clifford Goldstein.
Other lessons
At the same time as adult studies, children attend classes for their age group. The distinctive age group divisions are Beginner, Kindergarten (K), Primary (Grades 1-3), Junior (Grades 4-6), Earliteen (Grades 7-8), Youth (High School), and Collegiate (College and Young people). Each age division has its own quarterly quote, which is titled by the class name to Primary. Juniors and Earliteens often share the same quarter with the title of PowerPoint . Some Earliteen groups use a separate publication titled Real Time Faith . Youths use Cornerstone Connection or Collegiate Quarterly (CQ) . Some churches give children weekly magazines at the closing of Sabbath School. Kindergarten receives Our Little Friend , Primary receives Primary Treasure , Junior and Earliteens receives Guide , and Youth receives Insights .
