Who We Are, How We Serve
The Columbia Union Conference, established in 1907 to coordinate the Seventh-day Adventist Church's work in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia, is part of the worldwide Protestant denomination of 23 million members in more than 212 countries. At the union level, we connect and provide administrative leadership, governance and support services to our conferences, schools, health care networks and ministries. Each year, our organizations sponsor programs and projects that address human needs, improve quality of life and introduce people to Jesus. Read our Mission, Values and Priorities.
We Believe
God is love, power, and splendor—and God is a mystery. His ways are far beyond us, but He still reaches out to us. God is infinite yet intimate, three yet one,
all-knowing yet all-forgiving.
Story by Elizabeth Long
Kettering Adventist Health Network plans to build a three-story, nearly 100,000 square-foot hospital on land it purchased in Troy at 600 W. Main Street.
The hospital will transform care for the patients and their families that live in the Troy community. Offering a coordinated approach to health care, patients can receive preventative, whole-person care centered on the patient, near where they work and live. This seamless approach is different than anything that currently exists in Miami County. This is truly the facility of tomorrow, today.

Los hermanos de New Jersey fueron protagonistas en un esfuerzo evangelístico muy bendecido. A principios de este año los hermanos comenzaron a orar por sus amigos.
Se organizaron grupos pequeños a los que se invitaron a estos amigos para compartir el estudio de lecciones de compasión y fe. En abril se llevaron a cabo más de 200 reuniones de evangelismo y en mayo y junio vinieron las semanas de cosecha.

Mientras Roy Simpson estaba creciendo, su padre, Peter, siempre le cortaba el pelo, excepto por unos cuantos años cuando "yo quería hacer las cosas a mi manera", dice Roy, que solía pensar que era muy diferente de su papá. Eso cambió después de trabajar con él como voluntario en la oficina de la conferencia donde compartieron muchas charlas. Esas conversaciones "me hicieron comprender que tenemos mucho en común, especialmente nuestra pasión por el ministerio", dice Roy, tesorero asistente de la Conferencia de Ohio.
