Thanks to NAD ONETEAM, Growing Together was a significant participant in the 2023 Adventist Ministries Convention Exhibition. January 8-10, hundreds of Adventist administrators, departmental leaders, and their families were introduced to the latest resources, initiatives, and training opportunities intended to make the local church the best place for all generations to grow together.
Under the moniker of “Growing Together” we have a great constellation of resources that were introduced at the convention. Here’s an overview of them:
GROWING TOGETHER CHURCH

CRECIENDO JUNTOS
The Southwestern Union Young Adult and Multicultural Ministries Departments have partnered to provide videos on Growing Together in Spanish. They hosted a Growing Together summit to bring awareness of what Growing Together is and how it can be a blessing to the local congregation. The Creciendo Juntos Summit started with devotion from Pastor Osvaldo Rigacci.
The YouTube collection includes a total of 6 presentations that explain the details of each core commitment. Pastor David Craig lead out in presentations #2 and #5, then Pastor Josant Barrientos led out in presentations #3 and #6. Pastor Revollo who led out in presentations #4 and #7. Please take time to watch and enjoy and process these videos. If our churches embrace these Growing Together concepts, we will grow stronger together. May God bless as we work together for the glory of God. creciendojuntos.org
