Seminary Partnership Promotes Community Engagement

The Center for Discipleship & Evangelism (CDE) began its community engagement intensive track Feb. 9 and 10. Partnered with Andrews University’s Center for Community Change, CDE invited 10 pastors—four from Southeastern California Conference (SECC) and six from Northern California Conference—to attend training in which outreach was the sole focus. From SECC, pastors Baron Savory, pastor at Valley Fellowship; Laffit Cortes, senior pastor of Escondido; Sandra Fermin, associate pastor for youth, young adults, and community engagement at Loma Linda Filipino; and Linda Biswas, community engagement pastor from Azure Hills, were selected to join the training across two days in preparation ahead of the launch of the community engagement track.
