A Sabbath school of the Nazarene Faith
One lesson, every age, every Sabbath.
Fifty-two lessons through the year and thirteen on the appointed times, each written six ways: a picture book for the littlest, student books for 6–8, 9–12 and teens, a young-adult study, and a guide for teachers and parents. The whole household studies the same passage on the same Sabbath.

How to use it
At Sabbath schoolTeachers open the Teachers & Parents tab for background, a 30- or 45-minute plan for each class, and the answer keys. Students follow along in their own class.
At homeRead the Seeds pages aloud to little ones, let older children read their own tier, and talk about the one big idea at the Sabbath table. Every lesson has a Sabbath-at-home step.
When a feast arrivesSet the quarter aside for a Sabbath and open the Feasts set. Every feast lesson stands alone and comes back to the quarter the next week.
Why “Netzer”?Isaiah 11:1 promises a shoot from the stump of Jesse — in Hebrew נֵצֶר, netzer, the Branch. Yeshua grew up in Nazareth, Branch-town, and His first followers were called Nazarenes (Acts 24:5). Seeds, sprouts, shoots, branches, fruit: we are little branches of the Branch.
