The National Service Organization (NSO) is the military relations office of the Seventh-dayAdventistChurch; its main office is located at the church world headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. Originally organized in 1918 as the War Service Commission, NSO has served as a link between our active duty members and the church.

The Seventh-dayAdventistChurch does not encourage its young people to join the armed forces; nevertheless, it is a fact that many Seventh-day Adventist youth and young adults join the different branches of our military. When this happens the Seventh-day Adventist Church must continue to minister, love, and support, the Adventist soldier.
