About Our Department

The multi-faceted role of the communication department is to communicate with constituents on behalf of the Florida Conference Administration, communicate with communities throughout Florida about the Seventh-day Adventist Church--either directly or indirectly through local church communication directors--and serve as a resource for pastors, local church leaders, and Conference office departmental directors and support staff.

The staff works in a harmonious, team manner, often praying together regarding the work program or personal challenges, and prayers of thanksgiving follow.
