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.

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!

Ladies Night!






A bunch of the Wright State ladies came over for a nice dinner at Cheesecake Factory, a fun time of Dance CONNECT, games, junk food, and movie night. We ended the night with a sleep over in my living room and woke up in the morning to some amazing waffles! It was a wonderful time to fellowship with other Christian woman and have some bonding time. :)

Committed Concert!






Had a wonderful night with a bunch of WSU students at the Committed Concert(a group from the show the Sing-off) They were wonderful and a group of 10 of us had a great time being able to fellowship with one another. Afterwards we all went and grabbed a bite to eat at Waffle House and had a wonderful conversation on the importance of relationships with other fellow Christians in order to Grow in Christ.

ACF Potluck!

We had an awesome fun Potluck on Sabbath this last week. With about 10 students that came over after church, I opened my house to them to relax... have some great Haystacks that each student participated in bringing something and enjoying eachother's company on a Sabbath afternoon. My roomy even broke out the guitar for a couple songs. It was a wonderful afternoon!

Friday Night Vespers









This Friday night we invited the students over to my house. We started off the evening with some Ultimate Frisbee before sundown and then socialized and had dinner together outside in the grass. We had a lovely song service with a guitar around a fire pit, continued with a devotional and discussed "second-hand spirituality" and how we could strengthen our lives with God. We had a great turn out of students and we enjoyed making S'mores and watching "The Ultimate Gift" to end a great night. It was a wonderful way to relax, praise God and bring in the Sabbath.

Bible Study


This week was very exciting for Wright State ACF, we had 4 new visitors to our Thursday night Bible Study. We are continuing to study Luke and this last week was a very "real" and open Bible study with many people sharing their own personal testimonies and how it applies to what God is doing for them even through the struggles in their lives. Thursday nights are growing and we ended with a prayer time for each individual. Wright State is continually being blessed.
