home and abroad. A fundamental part of our
mission and philosophy as a church is to share the
love of Christ by serving others.
Over the years, Adventist outreach programs have expanded to
include over 5,500 educational institutions and over 500 health
care facilities worldwide. A wide variety of Community Service
programs operates in thousands of cities and towns, maintained by the dedication and enthusiasm of
local church members. At a global level, for over 40 years the work of the Adventist Development and
Relief Agency (formerly known as SAWS) has brought positive change to communities in need.
