The National Service Organization, NSO, is part of the North American Division Chaplaincy office of the Seventh-day Adventist church [(301) 680-6780] and exists to support and provide resources to Seventh-day Adventist men and women serving the United States in the military.
 
We understand that . . . In the United States it is the law that all males must register with the Selective Service System upon turning eighteen years of age.

However, we also acknowledge that registering and enlisting are two very different actions.
 
The Seventh-day Adventist Church does have an official position in regards to serving in the military.
 
The Seventh-day Adventist Church advocates that members serve in the military as non-combatants, but accepts those who elect to serve in other capacities or not to serve at all--according to the conscience of the individual member.
