Campbell and Edward Martin Allen as we celebrate the release of their new work, <em>A Global History of Seventh-day Adventists</em>. While previous studies have largely focused on the denomination's 19th-century North American origins, Campbell and Allen offer a broad chronological and geographic scope. They rigorously trace the transmission of Adventist theology and culture across the continents of Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia, analyzing the church&rsquo;s contributions to global education, social reform, and medicine.</p> <p> Don&rsquo;t miss this chance to hear from the authors and pick up your copy with discount of this definitive new textbook!</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <strong>Event Details:</strong></p> <p> <strong><em>Date:</em></strong> Wednesday, February 11, 2026</p> <p> <strong><em>Time:</em></strong> 7:00 &ndash; 8:30 p.m.</p> <p> <strong><em>Location:</em></strong> Newbold Auditorium, Buller Hall, Andrews University</p> <p> <strong><em>Format:</em></strong> In-person and Livestream</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <strong>Student Information:</strong></p> <p> Co-Curricular Credit: Students are eligible to receive co-curricular credit for attending this event.</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <strong>Join the Livestream:</strong> For those unable to attend in person, the event will be streamed live here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/4uJX2_THi5A?si=XFrAwDi4AqtEFy1O">https://www.youtube.com/live/4uJX2_THi5A?si=XFrAwDi4AqtEFy1O</a></p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> We look forward to seeing you there for this significant contribution to Adventist historiography.</p> Fri, 30 Jan 2026 09:46:55 +0000 Andrews University Music & Worship Conference http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68697 <div background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" ibm="" line-height:="" plex="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: " text-align:=""> The 2026 Music &amp; Worship Conference, scheduled for Feb. 12&ndash;14, will focus on the theme of &ldquo;Worship as Missional Discipleship.&rdquo; The theme springs from 2 Corinthians 3:3, &quot;You are a letter from Christ.&quot; The conference aims to explore the transformative role of worship in fulfilling God&rsquo;s mission through nurturing discipleship. Public worship is not merely an event but a way of life that forms believers, deepens faith and propels the church into mission that changes the world. This conference invites scholars, pastors and practitioners to examine how corporate worship serves as both an expression of and a catalyst for spiritual growth and missional engagement.</div> <div background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" ibm="" line-height:="" plex="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: " text-align:=""> &nbsp;</div> <div background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" ibm="" line-height:="" plex="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: " text-align:=""> The Andrews University Music &amp; Worship Conference seeks to provide a forum for scholarly and professional dialogue, the advancement of knowledge, and the promotion of best practices in Christian worship and music.</div> <div background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" ibm="" line-height:="" plex="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: " text-align:=""> &nbsp;</div> <div background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" ibm="" line-height:="" plex="" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: " text-align:=""> To register, please visit the conference <a href="https://secure.touchnet.net/C20366_ustores/web/store_main.jsp?STOREID=45&amp;SINGLESTORE=true">website</a>.</div> Thu, 29 Jan 2026 09:00:27 +0000 TBRI Caregiver Training http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68620 <p> <span font-size:="" ibm="" plex="" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "><strong>Date</strong>: Feb. 6, 13 &amp; 27, 2026 (Zoom attendance will be available on Feb. 6 and Feb. 27 for those 60+ miles away.)</span><br font-size:="" ibm="" plex="" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: " /> <span font-size:="" ibm="" plex="" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "><strong>Time</strong>: 8:30 a.m.&ndash;5 p.m.</span><br font-size:="" ibm="" plex="" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: " /> <span font-size:="" ibm="" plex="" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "><strong>Location</strong>: Andrews University</span><br font-size:="" ibm="" plex="" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: " /> <span font-size:="" ibm="" plex="" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "><strong>Cost</strong>: $350 (lunch on your own);&nbsp;</span><span font-size:="" ibm="" plex="" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: ">Andrews University employees $99;&nbsp;</span><span font-size:="" ibm="" plex="" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: ">Andrews University students $35</span></p> <div> <span font-size:="" ibm="" plex="" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: ">(Materials and snacks will be provided.)</span></div> Thu, 29 Jan 2026 08:28:29 +0000 St. Joseph SDA Church Service, Jan. 31 http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68785 <p> The St. Joseph Seventh-day Adventist church invites you to join them at 9:30 a.m. for Sabbath School and worship at 10:45 a.m.&nbsp;This week, Pastor Tariq Patel will lead out in worship with a sermon titled &quot;Where Are We in Bible Prophecy.&quot; The church is located at 1201 Maiden Lane, St. Joseph, MI.&nbsp;</p> Wed, 28 Jan 2026 15:05:53 +0000 Niles Westside Church Services, Jan. 31 http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/68782 <p> <strong>Niles Westside Adventist Church</strong><br /> 1105 Grant St (at Fairview Ave)<br /> Niles, MI 49120<br /> <a href="https://nileswestsidemi.adventistchurch.org">www.nileswestside.org</a><br /> <strong>Pastor</strong>: Alexander Rybachek</p> <p> <strong>Sabbath School</strong>: 9:45 a.m.<br /> <strong>Church Services</strong>: 8:30 a.m. &amp; 10:55 a.m.</p> <p> <strong>Jan. 31 Sabbath</strong><br /> <strong>8:30 &amp; 11 a.m.</strong>: Pastor Alex Rybachek<br /> <strong>Sermon Title</strong>: Last Hours of the Empire<br /> How blessed we are reading the books of Daniel and Revelation!
