Scripture Memory Program
Scripture Memory Program
Each year, the Christian Education Council encourages the members of local Seventh Day Baptist churches to commit themselves to memorizing the Scriptures as part of our Scripture Memory Program.
The verses selected for the program by the presiding Conference President are usually related to their selected theme. The materials provided for the Scripture Memory Program are for adults, however churches may shorten the scriptures provided to assist various ages in memorizing them.
The Conference theme for 2025-2026, “Follow Me, I Will Make You Fishers of Men,” was selected by our Conference President Rev. Ericessen Cooper and the verses he has chosen for the program this year surround this theme.
The Scripture Memory Program materials provided below are geared towards adult scripture memorization, however, you may shorten the verses as you see fit to assist other ages in memorizing the scriptures.

As announced at our General Conference sessions in 2024, we have discontinued the Conference awards for this program, including both of the Conference-wide participation awards and the printing of certificates for those who complete the program. We have added certificate templates for download below which local churches can use to print their own certificates.

We hope that you will join us and Conference President Rev. Ericessen Cooper as we explore his Conference theme, “Follow Me, I Will Make You Fishers of Men?” through the Scriptures he has selected. We are praying for you and your ministries as another ministry year begins!
If you have questions about this program or other Conference ministries, please reach out to Dir. Nick Kersten at nkersten@seventhdaybaptist.org.
