New Video Series Shows Connection Points

Though we share the same denominational label, Adventists are a widely diverse group. Across ages, genders, cultures and geographical regions there are many things we tend to see differently. Recent years have highlighted those differences as we lived through the dawn of the digital age, the COVID-19 pandemic and a rapidly polarizing society.

While the differences between us are evident, how often do we consider the values we still share as Adventists? This summer, the Oregon Conference communication team set out to explore these common threads in a new documentary-style series featuring 15 church members from across the conference territory. They visited schools, churches, community centers, hospitals and a farm to ask members, "How does your faith look in your everyday life?"

Featuring interviews with Adventists across the conference, Living Faith is a five-episode resource focusing on five core values shared nearly universally conference-wide: Sabbath, music and worship, evangelism, Jesus and the Second Coming, and community service. 

A corresponding small group discussion guide is also available for each episode free of charge for online or offline use. Through this series, each of us can ask, "Despite our many differences, how can we find some common ground?"

Find each episode and its corresponding discussion guide online at LivingFaithPNW.org.

The Gleaner is a gathering place with news and inspiration for Seventh-day Adventist members and friends throughout the northwestern United States. It is an important communication channel for the North Pacific Union Conference — the regional church support headquarters for Adventist ministry throughout Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. The original printed Gleaner was first published in 1906, and has since expanded to a full magazine with a monthly circulation of more than 40,000. Through its extended online and social media presence, the Gleaner also provides valuable content and connections for interested individuals around the world.
