Trabajamos para crecer juntos como Iglesia Adventista del Séptimo Día con neuestros jóvenes y jóvenes adultos

Durante demasiado tiempo hemos visto a generaciones en nuestra iglesia separarse. Este seminario compartirá cómo podemos transformar la cultura y ver un poderoso cambio positivo. Oramos para que esto traiga transformación cultural y sanación a muchas de nuestras congregaciones españolas que han estado orando por una manera de ver a las generaciones "crecer juntas" en lugar de separarse.

Let's make the Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church the best place for all generations to grow up. . . together.

For too long we've watched generations in our church drift apart. This seminar will share how we can transform the culture and see powerful positive change. We're praying this will bring cultural transformation and healing to many of our Spanish congregations who have been praying for a way to see generations "growing together" instead of growing apart.
