About Laurelwood Personal Ministries
Our Mission
Personal Ministries Department exists to facilitate hope and wholeness through movement of our people from spectators to participants, to disciples, to disciple-makers in the areas of Personal, Prison, and Sabbath School Ministries. The department exists to facilitate training and inspiration toward the movement of our people from membership to discipleship via interpersonal sessions. Personal Ministries is a facet of the church whose origin can be traced to the beginning of Seventh-day Adventist® history in the 1860s. It endeavors to inspire, motivate, equip, train, and mobilize all members for dynamic Christian service with the conviction that “The church of Christ is organized for service” (Ministry of Healing, p. 148) and “Every son and daughter of God is called to be a missionary; we are called to the service of God and our fellow men” (The Ministry of Healing, p. 395).
How We Serve
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 Personal Ministries work hand in hand with the Sabbath School department which provide Bible study guides and material for small groups that meet on Saturday mornings and other times of the week whether in person or virtually. 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. As a result, serving our community means to share what we now know, which are the Good News that there is hope and salvation in Jesus Christ and that he will return for his children.
