Framework

This course is specifically designed for Sabbath School teachers in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, focusing on the pivotal roles they play in nurturing faith and community. Participants will explore the "Three P's" framework—Promoter, Pastor, and Professor—equipping them with the tools and insights necessary for effective teaching and engagement. 1. Promoter: This module emphasizes the importance of missionary engagement. Teachers will learn strategies to promote outreach initiatives and foster a spirit of evangelism within their classes. Participants will discover how to inspire their students to actively participate in mission work and community service, reflecting the love of Christ in action. 2. Pastor: In this section, the focus is on pastoral care. Teachers will be trained in providing emotional and spiritual support to their students, understanding their needs, and fostering a nurturing environment. This module will cover effective communication, conflict resolution, and building meaningful relationships, ensuring that each student feels valued and cared for. 3. Professor: This module centers on teaching biblical foundations. Participants will gain skills in effectively communicating biblical truths, utilizing various teaching methods, and creating engaging lesson plans. Emphasis will be placed on helping students develop a deeper understanding of Scripture and its application in their daily lives. Join us in this enriching course to enhance your skills as a Sabbath School teacher, empowering you to be a promoter of mission, a source of pastoral care, and a professor of biblical truths. Together, we will strengthen our ministry and impact the lives of those we serve.

Free, with no catch

Then the residency

The course opens to you for 360 days. You set the pace, and nothing expires while you are still working through it.

There is no fee, no upsell and no card. The conference carries the cost because the point is formation, not revenue.

Each course is the entry point into one of the six tracks — where the same material is worked through with a live group and a project applied to your own congregation.

HOW THEY WORK

A course is the argument.
A track is
the year.

A course can be taken alone, and many leaders do exactly that. But neither of these two was written to be read by an individual: the eight factors are applied by a board, and church order is exercised by a congregation. That is what the six tracks of the residency are for.

NOW OPEN

The Pioneer Cohort of Track 03 takes twenty leaders, from January 2027.

Both online courses are free

No fee, no upsell, no card. The conference carries the cost because the point is formation, not revenue.
