That They May Be More Than One?
When Christ prayed His last and longest prayer in the book of John, He made four petitions to His Father. How can those petitions guide our church today?

Recalibrating What Matters - Mission or Method
When the Apostle Paul saw Peter refuse to sit with the uncircumcised Gentiles, he set in motion one of the great theological debates of his time. When faced with divisive issues of our own, how will we respond? What can we learn from the example of the Early Church?

Reversing the Polarities of the Third Millennial Church
As Christians, we've never called this world our home. We are as exiles in a foreign land. But how do we reach a culture that is so wholly secular, so different from what we have been called to? How do we engage this culture without conforming to it?

Wind Symphony Spring Concert: Scenes of Summer

Scenes of Summer is the theme of the upcoming Wind Symphony Spring Concert. As the semester draws to an end, we begin to think about warmer days, celebrations and festivals, and for some students, going home. This concert celebrates all things summer, featuring pieces such as Summer Dances by Brian Balmages, As Summer Was Just Beginning by Larry Daehn, and the fun march, The Purple Carnival arranged by Frank Erickson. This concert is unique in that it features some of our student composers and conductors. The first half will feature pieces, two of which are world premiers, composed by our own university students. The second half will feature three of our student conductors. Join us for a fun evening where we feature our student composers, conductors, and performers on Saturday, April 12, 2025 at 8:30 PM at the Howard Performing Arts Center.

Hope Channel International

Hope Channel International, Inc. Hope Channel International (HCI) is an Adventist global media network that offers programs on Christian living with a holistic focus on faith, health, relationships, and community. Hope Channel began broadcasting in North America in 2003. Today, Hope Channel is a global network with more than 80 channels broadcasting in over 100 languages. In December 2023, in response to the heightened sense of loneliness prevalent during the holiday season, Hope Channel International stepped forward with a heartfelt campaign to foster connections and address the epidemic of isolation in our society. At the heart of this initiative was a strategic billboard placement in the iconic Times Square in New York City. Positioned where an average of 330,000 people pass through daily, this strategic move amplifies Hope Channel’s reach to millions from diverse backgrounds.

Jesus quoted the following passage from Isaiah 61:1, “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me; Because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted.” (NKJV).

Through this campaign in Times Square, New York City and all the different TV programs being shown 24/7, Hope Channel is truly preaching the good news to all the world. North American Division Stewardship Ministries
