Good Things to Know About
|
|
Is Religious Exemption for Vaccinations Available?
Customarily, church members can get religious exemption letters for matters such as Sabbath accommodation in the workplace or schools. However, because the official position of the Seventh-day Adventist Church supports vaccinations, your local Adventist church, conference, or union is not able to provide you an official exemption letter.

A Shared Value of Hope
What’s the VALUE in Christian education? Values are the foundational blocks upon which a better life is built including successes in education, skills and talents. An investment in Christian education is priceless!
Our school system puts values into action in all we do and encourage students to do the same. These are values like endurance, thankfulness, service, compassion, creativity, peace, hope, justice, wisdom and humility.
Students learn to trust our Savior and intentionally share hope when circumstances are difficult. Beyond the trials that surround us, we point to the hope we have in Jesus as our trustworthy ally.
To find out more for your child or grandchild, friend or neighbor, locate the school nearest you and start a conversation about how you can share the value of hope.

We have a high level of vaccination in the State of Washington, and we are still in a pandemic where good health and safety habits are still important.
Individuals who are fully vaccinated (series of shots + 2 weeks) are no longer required to wear a mask at church, yet are still STRONGLY encouraged to mask up to combat the increased spread of the delta variant. Individuals who are not fully vaccinated are still required to wear a mask at church.
As always, kindness and grace to each other in our interactions goes a long way.
