Pastor Sams stated, “As part of the mission of the SDA Church we take active part in humanitarian relief, and individual and community development.

During the early part of every year the church is engaged in a world-wide annual humanitarian out-reach to solicit financial support to help meet the needs in our communities. As a church we recognize the magnitude of the needs in our communities which are far more than we by ourselves can handle. Therefore, we solicit from the community support by asking for a financial contribution towards this humanitarian cause.

We hope to build collaborative partnerships with other humanitarian organizations in Anguilla and expand our scope of community services.”

The church also provides services through its ministries of Community Services, Personal Ministries, Disaster Response, Crisis Care/Disaster Response Chaplaincy Program and Youth Empowered Programs.”
