The Seventh-day Adventist Church has a number of supporting, parachurch, independant, and other such organisations that work adjunct to, in support of, or sometimes non-supportive of the official church.
SupportingSupporting 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 accept tithe or solicit money from members during official functions. Aid
PublishingMany private organizations print, publish, and promote materials supporting the Seventh-day Adventist message. The largest of these is TEACH Services, Inc. also runs which specializes in hard-to-find and out-of-print copies of older Seventh-day Adventist printed materials. In addition, the Seventh-day Adventist Church owns and opperates many publishing companies around the world including two of the largest located in the United States: Pacific Press Publishing Association and Review and Herald Publishing Association.
Media MinistriesThe Three Angels Broadcasting Network was founded in 1984 by Danny Shelton. Troubled by bad thoughts, but inspired by his and his daughter's singing religious songs, Shelton had an idea to build a television station that would fulfill his own deepest needs. Eventually this would develop into a major 24-hour satellite service seen around the world. 3ABN (as it is often called) broadcasts all the major Adventist ministries, as well as its own in-house productions on the gospel, and mental and spiritual health. Additionally, there is a Three Angels Broadcasting Radio Network as well. This organization is a privately run non-profit that is not an official arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. "HopeTV" is another television network affilliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The is broadcast via satellite, terrestrial, and cable television.
