Ministry Departments
Led by Enoch Zarouhliotis
The objective of Young Adult Ministry is “To save from sin and guide into service:” this true and only motive, so complete and impressive, was adopted during the 1926 General Conference session. To obtain the salvation of the youth it is necessary to give them every possible opportunity to participate in all Adventist youth activities. By keeping youth actively preparing for more efficient service, they are protected from evil. It is necessary to place them in some activity as soon as they are ready. “Seeking the good of others is the way in which true happiness can be found”. The enemy will not prevail against youth who are actively engaged in the things of God. Adventist Youth (AY) Programs are held every Saturday afternoon.
