Bonanza Adventist Church members are still celebrating how God has blessed them since the completion of their new church building and now the burning of their church mortgage and re-dedication of their church to God, this past February.

Fernando Chavez, Portland Adventist Academy vice principal and spiritual life director, recently shared the impact local pastors have on the students of PAA.

“It was a beautiful program, but it was also meaningful. Not only did we work together, we created experiences and had a whole bunch of lessons.” This is the way Natalia Gramada, Sunnyside Adventist Church Adventurer director, described the Adventurer Family Camporee that was held June 9-11th at the Gladstone Park Conference Center.  

Juan Pacheco was appointed as the new Assistant to the President for Communication by the Oregon Conference Executive Committee on Thursday, June 22, filling the position formerly held by Jonathan Russell as he transitions into his new role as Assistant to the President.

Scappoose Adventist School (SAS) held its first annual ‘Homecoming Sabbath’ alumni event in March. Teachers, students and staff, past and present, along with church members gathered together to celebrate the school’s 88 years of service to Columbia County.
