Condition note: Book is lightly used and clean.
Self-supporting ministries, independent ministries, supporting ministries—sometimes there seems to be utter confusion in the Seventh-day Adventist Church today about their roles. Some church members believe that the denominational work is so paralyzed by apostasy, worldliness, and corruption that lay ministries are the only hope for finishing the gospel commission. Others militantly oppose lay ministries, labeling them schismatics, dividers, "separationists," cultists, and offshoots. What is the truth about these ministries? Surely it is time we know the answers.
This book covers some of the following topics:
- The Bible Pattern
- Recommendations of the General Conference of 1909
- The Perth Declaration and Self-Supporting Work
- Financing Self-Supporting Work
- Counsels Concerning the Funding of Self-Supporting Institutions
- Relationship of Self-Supporting Work to Denominational Work

- What Is the Nature of Self-Supporting Ministries
- ASI, OCI, Layman's Foundation and Other Self-Supporting Organizations
- When Self-Supporting Ministries Become Threatening
- Divisions and Schisms
- Camp Meetings, Bible Conferences, Weekend Seminars
- Self-Supporting Evangelism
