Our Philosophy
The philosophy of our Ministry is to serve God, our neighbors, and the community, so that in the event of an emergency or when called for national service, they will be able to help and organize resources, both spiritual, material and personal. The goal is to provide spiritual and logistical help in a quick and efficient way, while demonstrating the motto:
SERVE, SERVE, SERVE.
Our History
The Medical Cadet Corps (MCC) program was temporarily suspended at the end of World War II. It was reactivated in 1950 and in the next few years was adapted internationally. The program was deactivated by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists (General Conference) in early 1972 but continued independently in a few locations with an emphasis on rescue and disaster response.
​
​In 2016, the Medical Cadet Corps, a component of the World Service Organization that is under the umbrella of the General Conference Department of Adventist Chaplaincy Ministries, was reactivated as a worldwide program.
