Our Stewardship Department is always committed to serving the stewardship-related needs of the Florida conference constituent churches. We also make ourselves available to serve the individual needs of our members who reach out to us in personal ways.
The ways in which we serve our churches include, but are not limited to:
Planning and hosting cutting edge Stewardship Workshops for Pastors and Lay Leaders (we host one such symposium per year in a different major location of the conference).
In 2017 we hosted 2 in the Central Florida region.
In 2018 we are hosting a big Stewardship Symposium in the Ft. Lauderdale church, on Tuesday, May 8th (from 9:30 am – 3:00 pm), for all the Pastors and local Stewardship leaders of the Upper and Lower Gold Regions.
Flyers are already out and much more will be done to promote it between now and then. In addition to these annual Stewardship symposiums for Pastors and Leaders of churches, that the Stewardship Department hosts, there are at least 30 weekends that are set apart for Stewardship seminars in local churches in a given year. As long as the church leadership requests one of these seminars, which include a Friday evening commitment and Testimony service, Sabbath morning stewardship sermon, and a Sabbath afternoon Seminar/workshop. These workshops are designed to educate church members in the area of Finance Management and other healthy financial practices.
The Stewardship department is also dedicated to serving the local churches with requested Stewardship resource material. Several of the local churches have reached out to us for such resources or they go directly to Adventsource.com and order what they need.
Presently, we are working to prepare, and make available to all our institutions and youth and children group, a stewardship curriculum designed to educate and motivate our younger members at a very early age.

The Medical Cadet Corps, also known as “MCC”, is a ministry of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. The GC Chaplain’s Department oversees MCC for the world church.
The aim is to “train and equip members to provide spiritual comfort or “Spiritual First Aid,” and other services such as first aid, relief, rescue, humanitarian aid in times of emergency and disaster, as well as logistical support to all Seventh-day Adventist Church activities and programs as requested.” GC – MCC Manual, p. 11.
MCC was started back in the 1930’s and has a history of helping train Adventist young people to get basic medical training that could be of service if engaged in serving as medics in the US armed forces.
Today, MCC aims to connect Cadets through government disaster and relief agencies to assist as needed.
MCC also includes a regimen of physical exercises, and promotes mental and physical discipline.
The official age at which one can begin cadet training is eighteen.
For a full explanation of the MCC history, please reference the GC MCC Manual.

Disabilities Ministries began in 1989 when the North American Division formed a Commision for People with Disabilities whose purpose was to examine needs and create effective solutions for members with disabilities, provide awareness and education for all Seventh-day Adventists, learn to evangelize people with disabilities, and ultimately impact church practice so that people with disabilities are always considered in all areas of church life. In 1995 at the World Church Annual Session in Utrecht, The Netherlands, it was voted to install a Disabilities Ministries Coordinator within all churches throughout the world.
Today, we find Ministry to People with Disabilities (as listed in the SDA Manual) as strong, effective, and persevering ministry. Hundreds of churches throughout North America have active Disabilities Ministries Coordinators and numerous Unions and Conferences have established denominational leadership that give guidance and support to this predominantly lay effort.
Our Mission is to Create Disabilities Ministries that brings empowerment to the physically challenged community through partnership in ministry and community projects.

We are of a life-changing movement impacting all segments of society with intentionality and love, with a special emphasis on helping people live effectively in preparation for the return of Jesus. Such effectual living encompasses the three key elements of mind, body, and spirit. This emphasis has led us to develop an extensive Protestant educational system and an international network of hospitals and health clinics.
In our local churches, members are eager to assist in your personal spiritual journey. We welcome the opportunity to partner with you in overcoming whatever challenges you may face, so you can experience the greatest possible health and happiness today and for all eternity.
