Abstract
In this article we will give our attention to foundation of education system in Adventist Church, and we are going to show the historical timeline of progression in formal education. Yet, because young people in most of the time grow up in the context of nonformal
theological education, through many church activities, we will talk in this article mostly about that aspect of education. Important attention will be given to results of empirical research in Republic of Serbia with adolescents from Adventist churches. It talks about young people in very complex period of growing up, determined by interplay
of physiological, psychological, religious and socio-culture factors. Th is empiric research will pragmatically contribute to rethinking and evaluating of pastoral-ecclesiastical work with advent adolescents till this day, and on its basis to give new models in process of
upbringing and educational work with young people.
