Adventist Chaplaincy Ministry
The purpose of the Adventist chaplaincy ministry and the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church are one: “To proclaim to the world the everlasting gospel. Thus, restoring shattered humanity to wholeness in its relationship with God.
Christ modeled this ministry of restoration and entrusted the church with its continuance. “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.” (The Ministry of Healing, p. 143.3).
Adventist Chaplaincy Ministries seeks to establish a worldwide network of Adventist chaplains who responsibly care for the spiritual health of those in their care. Adventist chaplains enhance the mission outreach of the church, validating the authenticity of its pastoral ministry.
Adventist Chaplaincy Ministries provides guidelines for applying the standards established by the General Conference to the world field.
