Service Opportunities
For more than 100 years the Seventh-day Adventist Church has sponsored social work, disaster relief and public health services in North America and around the world. The Church was created for service, and Christ’s followers serve the Lord in praise, serve one another in love, and serve the world in humility.
Jesus Christ modeled the life of service for us. He “went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed” (Acts 10:38).
Christ identified with the poor and oppressed. “He fed the hungry and healed the sick. By the good He accomplished, by His loving words and kindly deeds, He interpreted the Gospel to men” (Ellen White). “Christ’s work in behalf of man is not finished. It continues today. . . . By an unselfish interest in those who need help [His ambassadors] are to give a practical demonstration of the truth of the gospel” (Welfare Ministry, pages 56-57).
God calls every man and woman to service, to each other within the church and to the world. A community services volunteer is a ministering servant of God. Click on the links to your left to find out ways you can get involved in serving the community around you.
