Community Services
Our congregation hosted the Howard County Cold Weather Shelter November 19 to November 25, 2012. This program is professionally operated by Grassroots Crisis Intervention Center, with assistance by our congregation's volunteers to provide individuals with transportation, three meals a day and a place to sleep each night. A big thanks for all the generous assistance provided. Although the Community Services ministry is the primary ministry to our community, numerous other ministries also serve our community.

Health Ministries
Wholeness and faith have been an emphasis of the Seventh-day Adventist church from the time of its organization as a church entity. Health of the community is a vital focus of Health Ministries at the Atholton Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Women's Ministries
The mission of Women’s Ministries is to uplift women to be all they can be as God has ordained. They will do this through two types of ministry: (1) Supportive -- social needs that include home meetings, trips, eating out together, bowling and other recreation; spiritual -- retreats and meeting for prayer. (2) Community -- visitation of the ill and shut-ins; and helping the elderly with their special needs.

   Be transformed by developing a forever friendship with Jesus.
   Embrace their call as disciples.
   Recognize and fill their place in the church.
   Passionately share the love of Jesus.
