The Sabbath School and Personal Ministries Department of the Michigan Conference exists to equip members for deeper Bible study, spiritual growth, and active participation in sharing the gospel. The department supports local churches by strengthening Sabbath School programs through training, curriculum resources, and leadership development. It also promotes personal evangelism, offering tools and initiatives that help members engage their communities with the message of Christ. By nurturing discipleship, fostering fellowship, and empowering lay members for ministry, the department works to inspire a vibrant, mission-focused church across Michigan.

Personal Ministries
“The Lord desires that His word of grace shall be brought home to every soul. To a great degree this must be accomplished by personal labor. This was Christ’s method” (Christian Service, p. 117). The aim of the Personal Ministries Department is to involve every member of the Michigan Conference in personal, soul-winning labor. To aid in this endeavor, the department provides essential training, tools, and resources for Michigan Conference churches and their members to be effective witnesses for Christ. Specialized ministries such as Hope for Humanity (Ingathering), Prison Ministries, and Disabilities Ministries are also within the purview of the department.
Emmanuel Institute
The Emmanuel Institute is is the evangelism training and resource center of the Michigan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Since 2009, we have been helping church members and leaders to become active soulwinners and agents of revival and reformation. Our short, intensive training programs are designed for those busy individuals who want to make more of an impact in their churches and communities in preparing the world for the second coming of Jesus Christ!
