Health/Family Life

HEALTH MINISTRIES DIRECTOR

The Church believes its responsibility to make Jesus Christ known to the world includes a moral obligation to preserve human dignity by promoting optimal levels of physical, mental, and spiritual health.

In addition to those who are ill, this responsibility extends to the prevention of disease through effective health education and leadership in promoting optimum health, free of tobacco, alcohol, other drugs, and unclean foods. Where possible, members shall be encouraged to follow a primarily vegetarian diet.

FAMILY MINISTRIES DIRECTOR

The objective of family ministries is to strengthen marriage and the family. Family Ministries upholds the biblical teaching related to the family and lifts up God’s ideals for the living. At the same time, it brings an understanding of the brokenness experienced by individuals and families in a fallen world. The department facilitates understanding, unity and love at home and in the family of God. Individuals, married couples, and families are helped to avail themselves of professional counselling when necessary.

CHAPLAINCY DIRECTOR

The purpose of Adventist Chaplaincy Ministries (ACM) and the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church are one: to communicate to all people the everlasting gospel and therefore restore broken humanity to wholeness in relationship with God. The ACM seeks to establish a global network of Adventist chaplains who care responsibly for the spiritual well-being of all those in their assigned circle of influence.
