Central Jamaica Conference has embraced the concept of the Sabbath School/Personal Ministries, and for this quadrennium will implement holistic programmes that will reflect our mission that of "Proclaiming the Everlasting Gospel as highlighted in the three Angel's Message of Revelation 14" and to "impact communities in preparing for His imminent return". The Sabbath School and Personal Ministries Department which were combined in 1995 were developed to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ, in response to His command and in the context of the three Angels Message of Revelation 14: 6-12.

OBJECTIVES

Their objectives are to win, retain, and train individuals of all ages for service at all levels within the church thereby ensuring their spiritual maturation and inspiring them for soul winning.
These objectives of the Sabbath School are reached through the following four areas of emphasis:

  • FAITH - Encouraging Spiritual growth through systematic Bible Study, Prayer and the sharing of the word.
     

  • FELLOWSHIP - Fostering a caring and loving relationship among members.
     

  • COMMUNITY - Reaching out to the community to attract non-members to the Sabbath School and Church.
     

  • WORLD - Maintaining a consciousness for the global mission of the church and supporting it by systematic offerings and personal involvement.

  • Door-to Door Evangelism
