The largest and most far-reaching ministry that adventist churches provide for children is Sabbath School. The Sabbath School specifically seeks to provide goal-oriented Spiritual education that produces children and youth who are committed to Jesus and to the family of God.
Goal-oriented spiritual education is meant to:
- Present a personal Christ
- Teach a grace orientation
- Stimulate an interest in Scripture
- Teach moral responsibility
- Welcome ethnic diversity
- Involve youth in service
- Involve youth in mission outreach
- Encourage high self-regard

GraceLink
The GraceLink Bible Study Guides are an important resource in one of our most urgent and vital tasks: leading our children to Christ. The GraceLink curriculum offers our children a balanced emphasis, featuring Grace (Jesus loves me), Community (We love each other), Worship (I love Jesus), and Service (We love you, too).
Developed by the General Conference, GraceLink is a biblically based 12-year curriculum comprising of 624 lessons. Most lessons are story-based, some on scriptural references that teach a specific doctrine. Each story has been selected to develop one of the four dynamics of the GraceLink series: grace, worship, community, and service.
