Toledo Junior Academy Opens New Gym

On April 26th and 27th, 2024, the Ohio Conference hosted its inaugural Elders Retreat at Camp Mohaven in Danville, Ohio. The retreat, designed to foster spiritual leadership among church elders, featured Pastor David M. Klinedinst as the guest speaker, who focused on "Living an Evangelistic Life." The event, which began with check-in at 4 PM on the 26th, convened elders from across the conference's territory. Throughout the two-day retreat, presentations and activities centered on integrating evangelism into daily life, aiming to enrich the participants' ministry skills. The three Ohio Conference officers, Bob Cundiff, Executive Secretary Oswaldo Magaña, and Treasurer Roy M. Simpson, were not only present but actively engaged in the retreat, underscoring its significance for the church's leadership and evangelistic initiatives. The Elders Retreat reflects the Ohio Conference's ongoing efforts to support and develop church leadership in alignment with the Seventh-day Adventist Church's mission of community service and global outreach. As the event concluded, the gathered elders were expected to return to their communities, equipped with enhanced insights and strategies for evangelistic engagement.

The Ohio Conference has announced a new date for this year's camp meeting at Camp Mohaven, as detailed in a letter sent by Elder Bob Cundiff to pastors and church members yesterday. Due to construction delays, the rescheduled gathering is now set for September 27-28. The camp meeting will feature a joint celebration for both the Hispanic and English-speaking churches and will include the dedication of the new building. Please refer to the letter below for details. Dear Pastors and Members, On April 16, 2024, the Ohio Conference Executive Committee voted to reschedule our 2024 camp meeting to September 27 and 28 due to construction delays with our new building at Camp Mohaven. These delays will prohibit us from dedicating the building during our previously scheduled camp meeting dates. The Committee felt that an adjusted schedule allowing us to dedicate the new building would be a more rewarding experience for our members than conducting camp meetings in a tent next to a large construction project. This year marks a significant milestone for our constituency as we celebrate the completion of the new building at Camp Mohaven. In line with our theme of “Building for Eternity,” we are excited to announce that we will hold a joint camp meeting for our Hispanic and English-speaking congregations for the first time. This occasion will also serve as the dedication ceremony for our new facility, symbolizing a new chapter in our ministry. This historic event will undoubtedly fill the new building and position our territory for a high Sabbath. It will provide an opportunity for members throughout our territory to come together, worship, and celebrate the "Building for Eternity" campaign. We deeply appreciate your understanding and flexibility regarding the change. Please adjust your calendars accordingly, make plans now to attend, and invite others. We value your presence and look forward to sharing this significant event with you. May God bless you as you prepare for this significant event, and I eagerly anticipate celebrating with each of you. Yours in service, Bob Cundiff President, Ohio Conference of Seventh-day Adventists
