About Ohio Adventist Christian Fellowship

Here’s a surprising fact: Did you know that 65% of Seventh-day Adventist young people attend secular colleges or universities? Studying at a secular college or university presents challenges to a student’s faith. Being at college may be his or her first time making decisions of their own, without mom and dad there to guide them. University studies are stressful, and social pressures are strong. The Ohio Conference has long hoped to minister to students—Seventh-day Adventists and others—on secular campuses. In September, we started a pilot program to place chaplains at three of our state’s universities: Ohio University in Athens, The Ohio State University in Columbus, and Wright State University in Dayton. Here are some of their experiences.

ACF at The OSU Involvement Fair 2011


Welcome to Involvement Fair 2011 where all student groups go to solicit new recruits at the beginning of each quarter. This year we were rained out. Usually this massive entanglement of chaos takes place where the air is fresh(er) and the sun is shining.






Finding the specific group you are looking for can be a rather challenging task. Fortunately, we are grouped according to types.






There we are!

Hello,
Do you know what a Seventh-day Adventist is? We are... Christians, Trinitarians, Premillenialists, Sabbatarians, Monists, Annihilationists. Ya, those are a lot of big words. Do you have a moment and we can break it down?

Do you enjoy great music? We are having a concert this Friday, September 23 in Hitchcock 131 from 7-9 pm. All are welcome! (That includes those reading this blog!) There will be great Gospel and Accapella music.

Students, leaders, and those who didn't even have to be there enjoyed rubbing shoulders with
many faith groups and telling all What (or Who) are Seventh-day Adventists.

Some faces were friends we had made in classes and being around campus, some were Adventists hoping to find the name among the student groups, and plenty were just curious.

"Do the U"






Do the U is a time for organizations to set up booths and share what their org is about to all the Freshmen students during Freshmen orientation week! We had lots of fun and met some great people! With the hustle and bustle of over 3000 students running around. We had a fun time!!

Ohio University Involvement Fair

This year, Ohio University ACF kicked off the school year in a good way! On September 5, ACF participated in OU's annual involvement fair. We prayed that God would lead students to our table who we could minister to and, as always, God came through! To our surprise, many students stopped by at our table, curious as to what our group was about, some even mentioning that they were looking for a Christian group to be part of. We even ran out of flyers! Praise God for His faithfulness!!! Thanks to all the students who helped make the fair a success. We look forward to our next event, the Back-2-School BBQ Bash on Sept. 11, and we continue to solicit your prayers about this ministry!
