Supporting
Supporting ministries are those that exist to support the church's ministry. The Seventh-day Adventist church recognises the contribution made by these organisations as being such that the main church is unable to contribute to. The organisations adhere to official church guidelines and do not openly solicit tithe or solicit money from members during official functions.

Famous quotes containing the word supporting:
“There would be no supporting life were we to feel quite as poignantly for others as we do for ourselves.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“I hope you will be benefitted by your churchgoing. Where the habit does not Christianize, it generally civilizes. That is reason enough for supporting churches, if there were no higher.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“It is handsomer to remain in the establishment better than the establishment, and conduct that in the best manner, than to make a sally against evil by some single improvement, without supporting it by a total regeneration.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
