Cool Tools for Sabbath School
.
In cooperation with the International Sabbath School Teachers’ Association, this page offers a robust online source of ways to enrich your Sabbath School. It provides downloadable articles and activities to enhance the preparation of teachers and leaders. And many of them are great ideas for personal projects too!

In addition to the four basic dynamics of a vibrant Sabbath School (Bible study, fellowship, outreach, and mission), the resources available in this library are organized under topics that pertain to Sabbath School. When you need some help in the development of your skills in teaching and leadership, take some time to explore the resources available here. Share what you find here with others who are in leadership positions for your local Sabbath School. And return to this page often; we’ll be adding resources regularly!
