Some of the best and most beautiful experiences in the world are not what is seen or even touched - they are the actions of others done from the heart.

ADVENTURERS

The Adventurer Club Ministry caters to children in pre-kindergarten to forth grade. Membership is open to boys and girls from the church and community. To some the Adventurer Club may not seem as important as other church programs. However, leading children to Christ is an integral part of the Adventurer program. When children are well grounded in their beliefs at a young age, they are more likely to remain in the church as teens and adults. 

PATHFINDERS

The Pathfinders Ministry is a worldwide organization of young people sponsored by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, though young people belonging to any church, or no church at all, are welcome and encouraged to join. The most important goal of the Pathfinder ministry is to lead young people into a relationship with Jesus Christ. Pathfinder programming provides members with spiritual instruction along with opportunities for mental and physical education. Pathfinders can provide guidance to help each member live a balanced life in all areas, whether spiritual, mental, social, or physical, just as Jesus did. 

 The Adventist Community Services (ACS) is a key tool in helping local Adventist congregations become visible within the community and known as an asset to the neighborhood. Through ACS, local Seventh-day Adventist churches can identify and address the needs of their community, neighborhood, or city. The ACS ministry program motivates, trains, equips, and mobilizes church members at a grassroots level. The mission of ACS is very simple: to serve communities in Christ’s name; bringing hope to humanity.

 The mission statement of Adventist Men’s Ministries is to: “Galvanize the energy and resources of men for God, family, church, and community.” (The definition of “galvanize” is to stimulate, or to startle into sudden activity.) Men’s Ministries events that are well planned will leave a lasting impression on the men who attend. They will develop a firmer commitment to God, a stronger dedication to their families and a desire to MISSION share their faith with others. Men’s Ministries is more about relationships than programs. One of the best ways to accomplish the objectives of Men’s Ministries is to connect men through small group interaction. Two to seven men meeting together regularly is ideal. 

 The local church religious liberty leader has the opportunity to serve the church and community by alerting them to developments that may impact religious freedom. Some functions of this church office must be carried out at specific times during the year. Others will be done only upon the initiative of the person selected. The person elected to this office should be dedicated to, and interested in, matters of religious freedom. He or she should also be or become familiar with the fundamental principles of religious liberty and the position of the Seventh-day Adventist Church on church-state issues. The local church religious liberty leader may thus not only serve the members of the local church, but may also become actively involved in religious liberty matters in the community. 

The Seventh-day Adventist Church has a long history of ministry to single adults. From local church events to conference-sponsored seminars, weekend retreats to talent nights. The scope of ASAM is as broad as the vision and commitment of the leadership team. These endeavors should provide opportunities for encouragement and fellowship among single adults, whether they are never married, divorced, or widowed. The Single adult ministry should provide a safe environment where singles can gather to develop community, find inspiration and support, discuss issues, study God’s word, socialize, and enhance their quality of life. You may focus on social and recreational events or small groups and support ministries. Whichever avenue you take, it  should be a reflection of the needs of the single adults in your church and community.
