Deltona Seventh-day Adventist Church

Adventist Youth Society Ministry
The primary focus of the Adventist Youth Society is the salvation of youth through Jesus Christ. This ministry works to: 1) lead youth to understand their individual worth and to discover and develop their spiritual gifts and abilities, 2) equip and empower youth for a life of service with God’s church and the community, and 3) ensure the integration of youth into all aspects of church life and leadership in order that they may be full participants in the mission of the church. Meetings, church-wide youth days, recreational outings, community outreach projects, Bible Bowl contests, musical programs, and other events are used to accomplish these objectives.

Men’s Ministries Men’s Ministries seeks to foster spiritual growth and renewal among Men, minister to the broad spectrum of Men’s needs across the life span, and find ways and means to challenge each Seventh-day Adventist man to use his gifts to complement the talent of others as they work to further the global mission of the church.
