Sabbath School Net (SSNET) is operated by lay members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church who volunteer their time so that Bible students around the world can study the Bible online and/or participate in the Bible Study held in Seventh-day Adventist churches (also known as Sabbath School) every seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday), no matter where their location.

With the launch of our blog in June 2011, we added an avenue of dialogue that is a bit broader than the email discussion lists which are largely focused on the weekly lesson study. Besides providing opportunity to discuss the current lessons, the blog also deals with doctrinal and lifestyle issues that are relevant to Adventists around the world.

Currently several individuals volunteer their time and efforts to make the Sabbath School Network a thriving community:

SSNET web site volunteers

• Inge Anderson - General administrator of the Sabbath School Net and editor of web content.

Teachers’ Helps Volunteer Writers

Michael Fracker

A retired school teacher in the Department of Corrections, State of Michigan, where he taught for  for 35 years, Michael has given hundreds of personal Bible studies and has seen many people baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

We are pleased that Michael has consented to share his Teacher Outlines with Sabbath School Net readers, because they are ideally suited for people who may not have teaching background but want to make their classes informative and relevant.

Michael was involved in Sabbath School Action Units and Sabbath School Revitalization working with Calvin Smith and Jonathan Kuntaroff from the General Conference. He wrote the Teacher’s Helps for the SS Quarterly for second quarter 2000. He was a Charter Member of the Michigan Conference Sabbath School Steering Committee for over fifteen years and wrote many for Sabbath School Leadership, Teach, and Action Magazines.

Michael spent time training in personal ministry and  door-to-door evangelism in the US, Canada, Russia, Ukraine, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Japan and worked with Calvin Smith for Voice of Prophecy Bible School for six months answering difficult questions people asked. He was a lay member on the Destiny Board of Directors in the Michigan Conference with Henry Feyerabend.

He also preached hundreds of sermons across the US and Canada and preached over 50 sermons in other countries of the world. He held evangelistic meetings several times in the US and In Cuba with Changing People’s Lives, and twice in the Philippines – once with Voice of Prophecy and once on our own.

On a little different note, Michael also lead out in church building projects twice in the Philippines in San Vicente and Ft. Magsaysay.

The email list is indebted to Andrews University and Dan Bidwell insofar that the computer which hosts SSNET is physically housed at Andrews University and runs smoothly under Dan Bidwell’s management. We are indebted to the General Conference Sabbath School Department and Pacific Press for permission to publish the Adult Bible Study Guide online in HTML format and for providing an electronic version of the contents. However, SSNET is not officially sponsored by either Andrews University or the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
