Chesapeake Conference

In the early hours of August 9, shortly after 1:00 a.m. ET, a fire broke out at Spencerville Church, causing significant damage to the building, including the sanctuary.

The early years of my public school education, from kindergarten through junior high school, consisted of the traditional state-mandated curriculum of the three “Rs” (Reading, Writing, Arithmetic), along with evolutionary science taught mostly by avowed atheists and agonistics. The only time “God” was ever mentioned in my school was first thing in the morning during the required student recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, as we stood next to our desks facing the American flag with hand-over-heart.

After 35 years of teaching at Spencerville Adventist Academy, Jane Lanning is retiring. During her tenure, she taught music, choir and bells, and also introduced the drama program in 1999.

Mark Finley will be the featured speaker for Chesapeake Conference’s 2024 Camp Meeting, June 11–15, at Highland View Academy in Hagerstown, Md. 

One of the reasons 13 Highland View Academy upperclassmen were inducted into the Nation Honor Society was for willingly seeking out opportunities to lend a hand.

Members of Chesapeake Conference's Grasonville (Md.) church donated “blessing bags” to the Bay Hematology and Oncology Center to bring comfort to cancer patients.

The Triadelphia church in Clarksville, Md., recently celebrated 50 years of ministry in Howard County, marking half a century since its founding members began construction on its current building.
