Each year the SDB Christian Education Council solicits nominees for the Sabbath School Teacher of the Year. This year we are changing the guidelines to include more opportunities for other leaders. Any member church (or branch church) of the General Conference may nominate a Sabbath School teacher, Bible Study leader, or Small Group leader.
The CEC encourages all churches to honor someone for his work in the Christian Education ministries of the local church.
Selection for this award shall be based on the following criteria:
- The Sabbath School Teacher of the Year shall exhibit the qualities of faith and teaching found in the life and teachings of Christ;
- serve as a Sabbath School Teacher, Bible Study leader or Small Group leader and be a member of the nominating church.
- Other Christian Education service shall contribute to a fuller appreciation of the nominee’s Christian service.
The Christian Education Council selects a person from those nominated to be honored at General Conference. This person receives a certificate of award and a crystal apple.
The deadline for nominations for this award for the 2017-2018 Conference year is May 31, 2018. The nominations form can be downloaded at the link below. Upon completion of the nomination form, it should be sent to Peggy Chroniger either by e-mail (chroniger@gmail.com) or by postal mail (5940 St Rt 21, Alfred Station, NY 14803).
Nominations sent by postal mail must be postmarked by May 31 to be accepted.
