Education

The primary aim of Seventh-day Adventist Education is to provide opportunity for students to accept Christ as their Savior, to allow the Holy Spirit to transform their lives, and to fulfill the commission of preaching the gospel to all the world. Our office is here to support our teachers in fulfilling this goal for the children and youth of our conference.
