We are a Christian organization dedicated to the service of Jesus and sponsored by the Auburn Seventh-day Adventist Church. Service to our clients is our ministry of love including a smile, a kind word of encouragement, a prayer for God’s blessing and sometimes a hug. Adventist Community Services cooperates with other community organizations and churches by receiving and providing referrals to assist in meeting the needs of clients.

 

The mission of ACS is to serve the community in Christ’s name. This means serving the whole person, a concept known as holistic ministry. Therefore, the purpose of holistic ministry is not only to proclaim the Good News, the word of salvation, but also to demonstrate the love of God to people who are in need. Throughout Jesus’ ministry there is evidence of a genuine holistic approach toward humanity; especially people who were marginalized, disadvantaged, and disenfranchised from society. These included the poor, the sick, the unclean, the prostitutes, and tax collectors—all outcasts as sinful people. Jesus expanded the Kingdom of God to places, people, and cultures that the Jews had never considered God to be interested in and has thus set these examples for many

 

The Auburn Adventist Community Services program has been around since the 1970s. Today we offer a variety of services for families and individuals who are in need, out of work or simply just find that the month lasts longer than the paychecks every once in a while. Our services include a complete clothing closet, food pantry, showers, a high yield community garden, a computer resource center, children’s play area, fruit orchard and always loving and encouraging prayer. Medical services are also available through our sister agency the A.R.C./ Auburn Renewal Center, also located on the church grounds. The Community Service Center is open each Tuesday for family services from 9 AM until Noon. We ask that clients arrive no later than 15 minutes before scheduled closing times. Additionally, Community Services is now open on Mondays from 9 AM until Noon exclusively to assist our brothers and sisters who have found themselves without shelter and who are in need of food, showers and fresh clothing. Again, we ask that you arrive no later than 15 minutes prior to scheduled closing. Come visit us and see the wonderful programs we have to the community.
