Potomac People Debuts With Centennial Edition

Story by Debra Anderson

The inaugural edition of Potomac People Magazine launched with a dynamic 58-page, full-color celebration marking the Potomac Conference’s 100th anniversary. Brimming with inspiring stories, this premiere issue honors the past while casting a bold vision for the future—showcasing how the conference is moving beyond the walls to minister outside traditional church structures.

Readers are invited to relive the Centennial Convocation at The Music Center at Strathmore in Bethesda, Md. The event featured preaching and singing by Wintley Phipps, renowned artist and former pastor of the Seabrook (Md.) church, and uplifting musical selections from choirs across the conference.

This commemorative edition also reveals the behind-the-scenes journey of Grace, Faith, and Persistence: The Potomac Conference Story, a compelling documentary tracing the conference’s century-long journey. Additional articles spotlight the dedication of the northern headquarters in Camp Springs, Md., the growing influence of Hispanic Ministries, the revitalized Camp Meeting in the Valley and outreach stories from the We CARE initiative—including the renovation of a home for victims of domestic violence.

“This magazine is more than pages and print—it’s a living tribute, a future blueprint and a call to purpose,” says Charles A. Tapp, conference president. “It celebrates where we’ve been, where we are and where God is taking us next. The first issue—yes. The last? Absolutely not.”

Copies of Potomac People Magazine are available at all Potomac Conference churches and at LivingWell—the conference’s health food and bookstore in Silver Spring, Md.
