The Ottawa Adventist Community Services Ministry aims to be a well-rounded ministry of compassion, which supports Personal Ministries by providing for the poor, needy and unfortunate of the community (both in-reach and outreach programs).
The ministry seeks to meet the needs of the community by providing programs and services that impact the church and the community, including: Touch-of-Love sack lunches, Community Guest Day, tutoring and mentoring programs, health screening education and assistance, inner city missions, and disaster response.
