2. Women Ministries
Women serve as important leaders in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Their spiritual, emotional, physical and social needs are of huge importance. The Women’s Ministries Department supports programs that help women rise to their full potential as leaders in their homes and communities. The department backs mentorship and academic scholarship programs for young women. It also hosts events around the world opposing domestic abuse and other violence against women.

3. Youth Ministries
The youth of the Seventh-day Adventist Church are valued not just as its future but as incredibly important current community members. The Youth Department helps develop resources and programming to support and mentor young people. The team works in close cooperation with regional youth leaders to find relevant ways to encourage and train youth as they help their communities to study the Bible to find freedom, healing and hope in Jesus.
4. Children Ministry
Children are incredibly important to the Adventist Church and the Adventist Church does everything possible to promote their wellbeing and development. The Children’s Ministries Department develops relevant age-appropriate resources to share the Bible with children from birth to the age of fourteen. As they learn from the Bible, children are often the first to embrace the love of Jesus and want to share it with others. The Children’s Ministries Department helps nurture the spiritual growth of children and trains them as young leaders.
​
5. Sabbath School & Personal Ministries
One of the best ways to study the Bible and find freedom, healing and hope in Jesus is to interact with small groups of people that are also deepening their knowledge of the Bible. The Sabbath School and Personal Ministries department provides Bible study guides and material for small groups that meet on Saturday mornings and other times of the week to study. No matter what your age, this department has resources to help you get to know God better and to share what you learn with others.

6. Stewardship
Stewardship is all about how we as humans take care of the resources God gives us. Wise use of what we have means that God’s work can flourish and more people can understand the Bible to find freedom, healing and hope in Jesus. The Stewardship Department helps train Adventist leaders and members around the world in biblical stewardship principles.
​
7. Music Department
Music is an avenue of communication with God. It “is one of the most effective means of impressing the heart with spiritual truth.” (Ed 168). Therefore, we make it an important and integral part of worship here at Faith Church International. Through singing and instrumental music, we want to bring glory to God and worship Him. Music at Faith Church International is intended to create an uplifting atmosphere, to ennoble and purify our thoughts, to foster our commitment to the Lord, and to effectively influence us in the development of Christ’s character in our life and in that of others.
​
8. Health Department
One of the reasons Seventh-day Adventists live longer than the general population is their lifestyle. The Health Ministries Department provides cutting-edge information and training on how to optimize your health and be all that God has designed you to be. Its resources help you discover what the Bible has to say about health and its importance for a rich life. Need to quit smoking or drinking? Health Ministries can help you drop bad habits and develop good ones. Don’t settle for less!

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.
11. Communication
As Adventists help their friends understand the Bible, they are sharing the hope that can only be found in Jesus. The Communication Department helps provide tools for church institutions and members to share this hope. Phone apps, websites, social media channels, video programming and gaming fuse with news reporting and press releases to reach audiences inside and outside the Adventist Church. The goal is to provide effective and inviting means for people to get to know Jesus.
