“Every Adventist is already an ambassador. Some of us have huge platforms and some only have a few dozen in their network – but we are all called to be ambassadors for Jesus.”

The Portland Adventist Academy Gospel Choir was one of several gospel music groups invited to perform during the Walla Walla University Church’s annual Black History Celebration on the first weekend of February.

Due to Big Lake’s central location in Oregon, this retreat is one of the most important opportunities for young adults to connect and meet Adventist peers from other areas of the Oregon Conference for personal growth, social activities, and worship.

In Turner, Ore., local leaders from Spanish-speaking churches across the Oregon Conference came together for one of their biggest annual events – RED.

High school students from all over the Oregon Conference, including small groups and at least five high schools, began the year with a Youth Night of Worship. The Holden Center was filled with students as they welcomed in the Sabbath with worship music, trivia, and a message from Crosswalk PDX pastor, Paddy McCoy.
