Learning and Sharing
Every Sabbath @ 9:15 AM Fitzroy Graham
The Sabbath School was developed to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ in response to the command of Jesus, in the setting of the 'Three Angels' Messages. In loyalty to this original purpose, the Sabbath School continues to win, hold, and train for Jesus Christ, men, women, youth, and children in all the world.
Here at Living Waters these objectives are carried forward through the following four areas of emphasis.
Bible Study
This emphasis includes:- (1) Making the saving gospel of Jesus Christ central in all Sabbath School plans, and programs, ensuring that all activities and materials are Christ-centered, Bible-based, and person-oriented.
- (2) Cultivating the attitude of prayer and devotion on the part of all members.
- (3) Fostering spiritual growth through regular study of God's Word.
Fellowship
This emphasis includes:- (1) Fostering Christian fellowship in every aspect of the Sabbath School program throughout the week.
- (2) Working together to develop and implement programs and projects for recruiting new members.
- (3) Enlisting the help of all leaders, teachers, and regular members in helping to restore missing church members and absentee Sabbath School members to regular attendance and active participation in the life of the church.
- (4) Carefully nurturing the spiritual interests of newly-baptized members.
Outreach
This emphasis includes:- (1) Making every part of the Sabbath School program and class contribute to the Christian experience of each member so that he or she serves as a spiritual magnet to draw others to Christ.
- (2) Making certain that all teaching is soul-winning and soul-holding in nature.
- (3) Being alert to opening providences that present to the Sabbath School or its individual members opportunities in service and witness for soul winning.
Mission
This emphasis includes:- (1) Maintaining a clear and far-reaching vision of the global mission of the church.
- (2) Constantly fostering in children, youth, and adults a desire to serve in gospel promulgation wherever the Lord may lead.
- (3) Teaching and promoting systematic and self-denying stewardship in support of world missions.
