Living Faith Small Group Resource
Releases Tuesday, October 29
In a rapidly polarizing and divided world, a new project from the Oregon Conference Communications team will invite us to reconnect with some of the most important core values that unite us as Seventh-day Adventists. Living Faith is a new documentary-style series featuring church members, pastors, and leaders from across the Oregon Conference. Through their stories, we will explore the shared principles of Sabbath, Worship and Music, the Second Coming of Jesus, Community Service, and Evangelism – values that resonate deeply throughout our Adventist family regardless of our individual differences.

A Religious Freedom Voting Guide
The first 16 words of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution tell me that I don’t have to give up or compromise my own deeply held moral and religious convictions to live, work, worship, and participate freely in American society.
