Sabbath School took center stage on July 5 during the 2025 General Conference (GC) Session, as children participated in hands-on activities, songs, and interactive Bible stories found within the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s new Sabbath School curriculum,

The first part of the curriculum debuted at the beginning of 2025, offering resources for babies (0–12 months) and beginners (1–3 years), and will continue to roll out content for Kindergarten, Primary, Junior, Teen, and Youth. Designed for ages 0–18, Alive in Jesus equips parents, caregivers, and Sabbath School teachers to nurture faith at every stage of a child’s development. 

“Whether a small child or a teenager, [Jesus] invites them to come to know Him, to love Him, to serve Him, and to be part of His mission to reach the world,” said Nina Atcheson, curriculum manager for Alive in Jesus.

According to Atcheson, the new curriculum offers seven reasons families will appreciate it: it’s biblical, covers the church’s core Adventist beliefs, is beautifully illustrated with global diversity, is written in a winsome style that reflects God’s character, is transformational in its focus on conversion and character development, practical in encouraging life application, and designed to involve the whole family.

“Everything in Alive in Jesus is bathed in prayer so that by God’s grace, children around the world will become alive in Jesus and committed to mission,” she added.

General Conference Sabbath School and Personal Ministries director James Howard highlighted how the new curriculum supports the broader goal of revitalizing Sabbath School worldwide.

“A vibrant Sabbath School requires the same components that gave life and growth to the early church: Bible study, prayer, fellowship, and mission,” Howard said. “Sabbath School is the heart of the church.”

Atcheson concluded with a heartfelt appeal: “I invite you to join us in praying for this new curriculum and those who will be using this in the years ahead until we see Jesus face to face.”
