Adventist Possibility Ministries
The foundation of Adventist Possibility Ministries lies in the belief that the gospel has the power to alter our perception of ourselves, others, and God. Our understanding of personal worth, despite physical imperfections, is transformed by the implications of the gospel message. While acknowledging disabilities and loss, our ministry chooses to focus on the possibilities that exist for individuals and what they can achieve through God's grace. We strive to promote dignity and respect for every person while working to uncover hidden talents and abilities that may have been overlooked due to societal stigmas surrounding disability or loss.
Assistant to the President for Evangelism
The purpose of the Assistant to the President for Evangelism, Training and Development is to equip Adventist Pastors and Elders with appropriate skills and competencies to organize their members to effectively connect and share with others to build strong social relationships, increase the membership of their congregations annually and consolidate all members through appropriate methods, and eliminate or significantly reduce the high percent of inactive membership thereby increasing the number of church members who are active and faithful disciples of Christ.
Bible School
The Bible School functions as a dynamic evangelistic tool, aimed at mobilizing every member into an effective and efficient outreach team while engaging individuals in actively studying God’s Word.
The School presently offers a wide variety of lessons such as Basic Bible Doctrines, Seven Steps, and The Believers, just to name a few.
Through our Free Bible correspondence courses, and other tracts we bring faith and hope to a dying world, and motivate every member to a life of Christian service.
Our Online Bible School has been under development since February 2020. Until it is complete, we are recommending you enjoy the >>> Let's Talk About Him Study Platform. <<<

Philosophy is the persistent attempt of man's intellect to understand and describe the world in which we live and of which we are a part. It is an effort to solve fundamental problems, to gain a comprehensive view of the universe and to find answers to questions on the origin, nature, and destiny of matter, energy, life, mind, good, and evil.
Family Ministries & Counselling Services
Seventh-day Adventists are huge proponents of happy family living. The Family Ministries Department is dedicated to strengthening families through services like premarital guidance, marriage seminars, coaching for parents, and special Bible education tailored to families. The goal is to build up, enrich and celebrate families, helping each member understand the Bible to find hope and meaning in a personal relationship with Jesus. There is no better witness to the power of Jesus than a loving family that works as a team to share the Bible with others.
