Fall Fellowship

For faculty and staff

Faculty Staff Fall Fellowship
Friday-Sunday, August 14-16
In 1959, the Seventh-day Adventist Church took a bold step by rethinking Adventist education and creating Andrews University, a comprehensive university to serve the world church. Andrews has served a leadership role ever since. This year’s Fall Fellowship events provide a golden opportunity to look back at the goals of the 1959 rethinking; to look at the current role of Andrews; and rethink our service to the world church in the future. Elder Jan Paulsen, president of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, and President Niels-Erik Andreasen, will lead the weekend rethinking.
