Adventist Community Services

Adventist Community Services had been part of the General Conference Personal Ministries Department for a long time, but had been inactive because of staff and budgetary constraints. In 2005, Adventist Community Services International (ACS International) was reactivated in time to support and partner with the “Tell the World” (TTW) initiative of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. ACS International is under the Sabbath School and Personal Ministries (SSPM) Department of the General Conference [or World Headquarters] of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. ACSI is endeavoring to establish a working relationship with Adventist Community Services (ACS) counterparts worldwide in the 13 administrative regions (known as “divisions”) of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.
 

Mission Statement:

The mission of ACS International is to motivate, equip, and mobilize Seventh-day Adventist Church members worldwide to meet unconditionally the expressed needs of people around them, thus fostering a trust relationship between Adventist churches and their surrounding communities, and nurturing people toward a restored, abundant life in Jesus (MH 17:1; John 10:10).
 

Vision Statement:

The vision of ACS International is that every Seventh-day Adventist Church be a transforming agent in its community, following the method of Jesus to bring help and hope through ministries of compassion in His name (see Luke 4:16-21; MH 143).

My Lamp - You light a lamp for me. The Lord, my God, lights up my darkness.

Empty Handed - But Simon answered and said to Him, "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net."

Don't Worry - Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?

We See Dimly - For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.

He Is the Lord - He who builds His layers in the sky, and has founded His strata in the earth; who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth--The LORD is His name
