Historia de la revista Visitor y del personal de la iglesia de Capitol Hill

En 2017, Emil Peeler, el pastor principal de la iglesia Capitol Hill de la Conferencia Allegheny East en Washington, D.C., tuvo la visión de abrir un centro que ayudaría a abordar los problemas de salud mental que afectan las vidas de las personas en los vecindarios del área de D.C. "En muchas áreas de mi vida, como pastor, profesor, líder de la comunidad, incluso como amigo, veía personas en todos los niveles de ingresos que se veían afectadas por problemas de salud mental", dice Peeler. “La necesidad de terapia parecía mayor que los servicios disponibles, y aprendí que muy pocos servicios integraban una perspectiva cristiana. Dios puso en mi corazón que necesitaba hacer algo ".

Kettering College began the first phase of renovations to the third floor of the female residence hall in May 2019.

The third-floor bathrooms, kitchen, lobby area, and the south and west halls now feature refinished floors, with updated ceiling tiles in the kitchen and lobby area. The rooms have been updated with California style closets, built in dressers, new lighting fixtures, memory foam mattresses, hardwood style flooring and Corian countertops for the desks, sinks and dressers. 

Kettering Medical Center has funded the renovations, granting Kettering College a $1.2 million project budget, according to Nicholas Henson, director of Finance and Administration at Kettering College. For the first phase of renovations, $340,000 of it was used.

En réponse à l'avertissement émis par le Concile  Annuel de la Conférence Générale de 2019, le Comité Exécutif de l'Union de Fédérations  de Columbia a voté pour « affirmer et exprimer son soutien indéfectible à la primauté de la Parole de Dieu; à la mission et aux  croyances fondamentales de l'Église Adventiste du Septième Jour; à la croyance en la prophétie de Joël 2: 28-29; aux femmes pasteurs, aux anciens et dirigeants qui servent selon les règlements ; et au leadership de l’union. »

Déclaration votée le 17 novembre 2019

Below is a commentary describing FFA's importance and why Adventists support this bill.
