First Lady Michelle Obama launched Let's Move to fight the epidemic of childhood obesity. In response, the Seventh-day Adventist Church has joined some 50 other faith and community organizations in supporting this national initiative.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church has long promoted a message of healthful living. Adventists InStep for Life is an opportunity to live and share this message in a broader context and make a positive impact for Christ. It is an opportunity to make our schools healthier places by providing quality nutrition, integrating physical activity during the day, and teaching children about the importance of a healthy, active lifestyle. It is also an opportunity to partner with the community and show that we care as we make our neighborhoods healthier by creating safe places for physical activity and providing access to affordable, healthy food.
