Allegheny East Conference

News of Lucy Byard’s death sent shock waves through the Seventh-day Adventist Church, especially among its 16,000 African-American members. How did it lead to the creation of regional conferences?

Allegheny East Conference's Pine Forge Academy recently hosted its inaugural Law
Day Symposium, in which several practicing jurists came to share their expertise with the students.

An artic blast moved through the U.S. this week, dropping temperatures below 0° with the wind chill factor. To help reduce hypothermia deaths in the midst of the freezing, cold weather, a local community partner Tawanda Green contacted Allegheny East Conference’s Mt. Olivet church in Camden, N.J.

Emil Peeler, pastor of the Capitol Hill church in Washington, D.C., felt that although there were a lot of solid Bible study resources available, there was need for a fresh, concise and simple approach.

“This is the type of involvement that we’re looking for through ADRA Connections,” says Nicole Watson, ADRA’s advancement specialist, “and working together with local churches and other entities is key.”

Nellie Dakanay, a member of Allegheny West Conference's Breath of Life church in Ft. Washington, Md., shared this pancit recipe in the December 2018 Visitor.

Nellie Dakanay encourages members to stick around after church and build relationships. “Stay over for the potluck or fellowship. That way [you] will [build] relationships with the church members you would
not [normally] meet,” she says

Allegheny East Conference’s Department of Education will be hosting two robotics events this spring at the Jessie R. Wagner Adventist School (JRW) and Pine Forge Academy (PFA).

At Allegheny East Conference's Pine Forge Academy, placing God at the center of operations is the overall objective for the 2018–19 school year. It is for this reason the Religion Department, in collaboration with the Pine Forge church, intentionally planned a powerful and impactful back-to-school revival, including keynote speaker and alumnus Garnett Adams.
