Columbia Union Conference--2013 Annual Report

TELL of HIS GOOD DEEDS

2013 ANNUAL REPORT

This text sums up 2013 in the Columbia Union Conference quite well. I’m thankful to report that membership has increased, thousands came to know Christ and were baptized through our evangelism and community outreach efforts, school enrollment is up across our eight-state territory and, despite the economic climate, we even saw a small tithe increase.

God is working in the Columbia Union, and I’m privileged to be a part of His work here and “tell of His good deeds.”

Like the psalmist testified, there are indeed “too many to declare,” but I hope this summary will apprise you of a few of the ways we are addressing our stated priorities and helping to prepare people for Christ’s soon return.

Courage,

Dave WeigleyPresident

TELL OF HIS GOOD DEEDS

“Many, Lord my God, are the wonders You have done, the things You planned for us. None can compare with You; were I to speak and tell of Your deeds, they would be too many to declare.”

— Psalm 40:5, NIV

From THE PRESIDENT

PASTORS GATHER FOR RENEWAL AND REJUVENATIONThemed iAbide, it was focused on John 15:5, which states “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing” (NKJV). For three days, we met together for worship, to participate in workshops, to gather resources and to fellowship over meals. We enjoyed the opportunity to connect with God; reconnect with families and colleagues; and receive physical, mental and spiritual nourishment. Many renewed their commitment to Christ’s call and mission and, based on the response, we believe that they returned to their homes, churches and communities more committed than ever to finish the work and prepare people for Christ’s soon return.

Thank YouWelcome


ORDINATIONS

We continued to foster inclusive ministerial ordination by recognizing persons who have proven their call to gospel ministry, as voted by our constituents in 2012.

We recognized persons who have made a significant contribution to the mission and ministry in our church and in the community.

We participated in ordinations for five current female pastors and conferred emeritus ministerial credentials upon four retired female pastors: Josephine Benton, the first known female pastor in our denomination; Karen Flowers, who co-led General Conference Family Ministries for over two decades; Hazel Burns (left), a pastor at the Kettering church in Ohio; and Margaret Turner (center), a chaplain for Kettering Medical Center in Dayton, Ohio.

We also ordained our union treasurer, Seth Bardu (right), because he has demonstrated not only his gift in finance, but also his calling to ministry through preaching, teaching and building God’s kingdom.

NOTABLE PERSONS OF HONOR

Samuel DeShay, PhD, MD, a speaker and author who also served in Africa as a medical missionary; Carol Wright, our union undertreasurer, who has thus far served two decades; Henry Wright, the longest serving pastor in our union, with 50 years so far; Raj Attiken, who recently retired as president of Ohio Conf.

Sedley Johnson is a Chesapeake Conference pastor and tireless crusader for Christ in Baltimore.

Roscoe Bartlett (left), a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for 20 years, and a faithful Chesapeake Conference member, was honored for public service.

Judy Olson (right), is director of the Friends-R-Fun Child Development Center in Summersville, W.Va., an outreach staple in the Mountain View Conference.

MISSION STORY

ENGAGING YOUNG ADULTS

We shared some of God’s blessings and resources at home and in areas of the world where there is great need.

We took three positive steps to address our priority of engaging young adults in experiencing the mission.

1 We voted to establish the Columbia Union School of Evangelism, which will involve young adults in full-time soul winning and mission opportunities.

2 We invited A. Allan Martin, PhD, a professor, author, pastor and advocate for young adult engagement in the church, to make a special presentation to our union executive committee about young adult attrition. He shared the stark statistic that 60-70 percent of young people leave the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He then offered information about why this happens and what they’re seeking. His presentation sparked a thought-provoking discussion among committee members and online via our news outlets.

3 We convened a special advisory comprised of the young adults who serve on the union executive committee and anticipate the recommendations they will bring to future meetings.

We worked with each conference to identify community-based mission projects that relate to our priorities. In 2013 we awarded $211,000 to 20 such projects for church plants, youth mentoring programs, house churches and other evangelism initiatives.

At the fall meeting of the Union Executive Committee, Bill Robertson and Fred Manchur, our healthcare CEOs, received a thank-you plaque for their joint organizational donation of $25,000 to the Ruby Nelson Memorial Hospital in India, as presented by medical director Jacob Prabhakar Chindrupu. It helped the hospital to obtain much-needed equipment to perform cataract surgeries and is expanding our church’s ability to share the gospel as well.


SECRETARIAT As the second ranking officer of the Columbia Union Conference, executive secretary Rob Vandeman serves as the official record keeper for membership and meeting minutes, etc. He lends administrative support and governance to our conferences, healthcare networks and university boards and committees; chairs them in my absence; and is a frequent presence at our local conference executive committees. He also chairs the

Columbia Union K-12 Board of Education and is president and chairman of the board of WGTS 91.9 FM, our university’s radio ministry with nearly 600,000 weekly listeners in the Baltimore–Washington corridor.

Unionwide Membership

*Since 2010 there have been significant adjustments/corrections by several of our conferences as they have transitioned fully to the eAdventist membership software. Therefore, the official numbers do not reflect the growth that is taking place unionwide.

“It isn’t a large increase, but we are thankful because, despite the long economic downturn and ongoing unemployment challenges facing the country, we are holding steady,” treasurer Seth Bardu reports. “We are careful to operate within our means, therefore, our financial position remains strong.”

Unionwide Tithe Income (In Millions of Dollars)

The Columbia Union retained $9.8 million in tithe during 2013, allocated as illustrated.


They host annual weeks of prayer and governance meetings where 10,000 employees and their families at our eight hospitals can hear inspiring speakers, share prayer requests, order free spiritual books and sign up for Bible studies. In addition, every patient in their emergency departments is now discharged with a special booklet and invitation for Bible study that has garnered nearly 500

requests in two years. Local church Bible workers follow up each request.

Teams of physicians and employees took mission trips to five countries—Cuba, Gabon, Honduras, Peru and Guatemala—to provide medical services and procedures. In Peru, for example, they served 500 patients at six church clinics, and, in Guatemala City, they performed 130 procedures in four days.

WASHINGTON ADVENTIST UNIVERSITY

In his seventh year at Washington Adventist University, President Weymouth Spence, EdD, and his team adopted the motto, “Vision 2020: Growing with Excellence,” to reflect their continued growth trajectory.

Under the leadership of Charles Scriven and then Alex Bryan, Kettering College maintained a strong enrollment of 900 and graduated 270.

Faculty members Randi Quale, Laurie Bromagen and Teresa Simmons celebrate with Charles Scriven and Kettering Medical Center president Roy Chew at a tea held for Scriven’s retirement.

Kettering College’s fifth annual Spring Into Health 5K drew a record number of 530 participants and enabled a donation of $9,300 to Dayton’s Good Neighbor House, an Adventist Community Services center operated by several churches.

“We must actively work to ensure operational improvements and instructional efficiencies so that we can become a more competitive force

in the areas of academic quality; student enrollment, tuition and debt; and faculty compensation and workload,” Spence reports. “We need to more fully align with the national profile of independent colleges and universities by being diverse, affordable, personal, involved, flexible and committed to student success.”

They continue to engage students, faculty, community and alumni through a number of service initiatives including sponsoring concerts, cleaning up neighborhoods, organizing and collecting donations and distributing food and other items to those in need. They also hosted 36 Adventist academy principals, conference education directors, and academy recruiters for a marketing recruitment workshop.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

COLUMBIA UNION REVOLVING FUND

UNION MINISTRY REPRESENTATIVES

Harold Greene, Information Technology Services director, and his team, help our conferences and schools meet their goals and mission through the use of technology. In 2013 they successfully finished major network upgrades at the Allegheny West and Pennsylvania conference offices and Mount Vernon Academy; supported the transition to a new web-based accounting system at four sites; implemented a Network Security Policy and performed a significant Wi-Fi upgrade at the union office; and continued to provide daily network, accounting and payroll support throughout the Columbia Union.

The Columbia Union Conference started its Revolving Fund in 1968 to provide low-interest funding for our churches, schools and ministries. Forty-six years later, and led by secretary/treasurer Peggy Lee, CURF continues to make ministry possible by funding purchasing, building and renovation projects. In 2013 they voted 69 new loans, most of which has been drawn, bringing their total to 285 loans outstanding, with a total loan balance of over $88.19 million.

285 Number of current loans by the Columbia Union Revolving Fund to make ministry possible for churches, schools and conferences

In 2013 we appointed the following local conference departmental directors to represent the union at North American Division events and departmental advisories, serve as conduits of communication and help coordinate ministry efforts in their respective areas:

Youth/Young Adult Ministries – Joel Johnson, Allegheny West Conference

Health Ministries – A. Leah Scott, Allegheny East Conference

ACS/Disaster Response – Minnie McNeil, Allegheny East Conference

Women’s Ministries – Shirley Benton, Allegheny West Conference


New technology upgrades support increased efficiency in employee workflow and organization.

We provided 69 loans to plant seeds of growth in churches, schools and ministries.
