Community Services
At the Central States Conference of Seventh-day Adventists
What does Adventist Community Services look like?
Community Services provides an opportunity to reach out to the world as ambassadors for Christ and meet physical, mental and emotional needs.
True success in community engagement
Christ’s method alone will give true success in reaching the people. The Savior mingled with men as one who desired their good. He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and won their confidence. Then He bade them, “Follow Me.”
