The peace and quiet of Milo Adventist Academy’s summer vacation was recently interrupted by a large group of volunteers from Maranatha Volunteers International, a supporting ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

As the 2023-2024 school year comes to a close, the Oregon Conference of Seventh-day Adventists proudly honors the accomplishments and dedication of this year’s graduating classes!

One of the most significant aspects of resolving the Conference's financial challenges has been working through restructuring our pastoral workforce.

“I always want to make sure that what I share is affecting people’s lives on Monday morning. When I think about ending a message I think, ‘What’s the big idea? What can we do with this? How can we integrate this into the mess of our world? How does it work in daily life?’” It was from this line of thinking that Journey Adventist Church began to change the way they did things just a few short years ago.
