News and Event

Young Adults are generally between the of 18-29 years, although some churches target up to 35.  Most of them have never been married and do not consider themselves "single adults." 

Single adults are generally thought of as ages 30 and up and may include those who are single again, single parents, and widowed, as well as those who have never been married.   We are happy to include their information on this website.

                 Sabbath School U For Young Adults                      By Department of Communications, Andrews University

The Sabbath School U (University), is a 30-minute weekly television program broadcast by the Hope Channel.  It features a young, diverse panel that responds interactively to questions posed by a moderator on the following week’s adult Sabbath school lesson.  These programs focus on four basic principles: fellowship, outreach, Bible study, and missions.  Each program explores ways teachers and leaders can use these emphases to breathe new life into Sabbath school.

The talent pool at Andres University, combined with the university’s television production facilities, was a major factor in the General Conference Department of Sabbath School’s decision to select Andrews as the production venue.

Each program includes a host and four panelists.  Hosts include Adam Deilbert, a recent graduate of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, and Anneke Valles and Duane Anglin, both communication majors.  Fifty panelists, representing more than 30 countries, were selected from the student body.  The production crew includes one student from Ruth Murdoch Elementary School, several undergraduate and graduate students – mostly from the Department of Communication, and a number of students from the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary.  The crew worked as audio and video engineers, teleprompter operators, production assistants, floor managers, and camera operators.  Sabbath School U was directed by Patrice Jones, a guaduate student in communication.  Two episodes were directed by freshman Brian Fellows, and electronic journalism major.

“Production of Sabbath School U gave our students an opportunity for a hands-on experience and provided a good understanding of the ‘real world’ in many categories of television production and electronic media,” said Melchizedek M. Ponniah, an assistant professor in the Department of Communication, Falvo Fowler, executive producer of Sabbath School U, chose Andrews University to produce future programs.

The MEC was established by Ponniah, who also produces Scriptural Pursuit, a weekly television and radio program.  The MEC partners with International Learning System, Good News Television, the Andrews’ Department of Communication, Andrews’ College of Technology, and the Lake Union Conference.  To know when Sabbath School U airs on the Hope Channel, visit www.hopetv.org.
