Who we are, and who we aren't
A welcoming, honest starting point — whether you grew up Adventist, you're new to faith entirely, or you're just curious.
Independence statement
Sabbath School Companion is an independent educational resource, inspired by and aligned with publicly available Seventh-day Adventist materials. It is not an official General Conference, union, conference, or local church website, and its content does not carry official church endorsement.
We clearly label every substantial piece of content as one of: Official SDA source, Bible reference, Historical source, Educational interpretation, Practical application, or Local guidance — so you always know what you're reading.
Our four pillars
Study of the Word & Prayer · Fellowship & Belonging · Community Outreach · World Mission — the same four objectives the official Sabbath School ministry has long emphasized.
Our editorial process
We identify sources, extract only what they actually support, write in plain language, label every claim, and mark unresolved questions for review rather than filling gaps with guesses. See our source ledger.
Safety & escalation guidance
This site is educational only. It cannot replace pastoral care, therapy, medical care, legal advice, or emergency services.
- Abuse, neglect, or danger to a child: contact your local child-protection authority and your pastor immediately.
- Self-harm, suicide risk, or immediate danger: contact local emergency services now (in the US, call or text 988; outside the US, use your local emergency number).
- Domestic violence or coercive control: contact a local domestic violence hotline or advocate; safety planning comes first.
- Eating disorders, addiction, severe depression, or psychosis: seek a qualified medical or mental-health professional.
- Medical, legal, immigration, or employment questions: consult a licensed professional — we don't provide individualized advice.
We will never use Scripture or doctrine to suggest you should stay in an unsafe situation.
