“For we walk by faith, not by sight” – 2 Corinthians 5:7
If you have an interest in ministry but aren’t sure where to start, you’ve come to the right place!
If you’re a seasoned business or ministry leader and you’re looking for professional development to better serve your ministry, you’ve come to the right place!
Who We Are
Since the 1930s, ASi (Adventist-laymen’s Services and Industries) has existed as a supportive network of businesses who want to further the work of the Adventist Church across the U.S. and Canada. The Pacific Union Conference chapter of ASi focuses its efforts on churches and ministries within the five-state Union.
What We Do
We provide:
- Training seminars on how to start your own ministry
- Financial training for new and seasoned ministry leaders
- Professional development opportunities
- Support in various capacities for churches and leaders as they develop their ministries within their own communities
About the ASi Conference
The annual ASi conference is designed to inspire and educate lay people to share Christ in a variety of contexts, and is open to any Adventist (or friend of one!) to attend. Those who are business owners or ministry leaders can become a member of ASi and both network together and partner with church leadership to facilitate evangelism.
How to Connect
Every member of the Seventh-day Adventist church has some circle of influence with people that only they can reach. Our dream is for ASi to be an influence in the church that encourages all to be effective witnesses for Christ.
