Chesapeake Conference

Educators at Atholton Adventist Academy believe Adventist schools are called to be evangelism centers—places where faith is lived, shared and nurtured daily. Their theme this year, “Shining His Light, Proclaiming His Love,” reflects that calling.

Oleta Emerson stood in her driveway with tears in her eyes as she waved goodbye to the final van of students. Before they left, she prayed with each vanload and thanked the 20-plus Highland View Academy (HVA) students for spending the day helping her with her family’s farm. It was a simple moment, but one that captured the heart of service- based learning.

Two Spencerville Adventist Academy (SAA) seniors recently discovered that faithful service has a way of multiplying. Ethan Tracey and Aiden Zinke volunteered last December for the annual Clark/Davis Breakfast, a community fundraising event that supports Samaritan Inns, a nonprofit that runs longterm recovery programs for individuals rebuilding their lives after experiencing homelessness, addiction and trauma.

From October 8–12, 2025, the Spencerville Concert Winds embarked on a memorable tour to Tennessee—a trip filled with music, fellowship and faith. The days were rich with experiences: a day of fun and laughter at Dollywood, a day of learning under the guidance of Ken Parsons, wind symphony director at Southern Adventist University, and a day devoted entirely to performance and ministry.

For more than 65 years, Atholton Adventist Academy has prioritized providing children with a Christian education.

Today, the Chesapeake Conference Executive Committee elected Andre Hastick as president of the Chesapeake Conference.
