Waldwick Adventist School, located in northern New Jersey, continues to experience God’s abundant blessings. Spiritually, many students rededicated their lives to Christ through baptism during North American Division’s Pentecost 2025 initiative.
The school also witnessed God’s faithful provision through generous support, including a $30,000 gift from the Wayne church last year, and a $64,000 anonymous donation this year.

“True education,” as defined by Ellen White, encompasses the whole being, guiding students through the harmonious growth of one’s physical, mental and spiritual powers. With this philosophy at the core of its mission, New Jersey Conference (NJC) educators recognize they often serve as first responders to students facing a wide range of challenges.

The New Jersey Conference launched 2026 with its annual Regional Ministries Training, held across its three regions: north, central and south.
The excitement was evident from the start as lay leaders gathered with a shared desire to grow and serve more effectively. Departmental leaders and conference staff led seminars designed to provide practical tools, resources and guidance to strengthen ministry in local churches.
Nearly 1,000 church leaders participated in the training, with more than half attending for the first time.
