Chaplains
Your University experience can be some of the most exciting years of your life; however, these years can also cause a lot of stress. During your journey here, you may be thinking about careers, a life partner, where to live, and where to work. As you embark on this new path, our doors at Andersen House will be open if you need someone to talk with, or a moment of peace. We will not pretend to have all the answers, but we are happy to listen, laugh, cry, and pray with you. We will help you explore your options and seek wisdom from God’s Word. We, as chaplains, are committed to being available to you and helping you to become successful on your journey.

Online Bibles
Who are Seventh-day Adventists? (SDA)
As Christians practicing in the Seventh-day Adventist Denomination, our core beliefs are:
- The Bible is God’s Word and still relevant to this generation. It provides a moral Compass to navigate this life. We believe its core truths are timeless, transcending gender, generation, ethnicity, and cultures.
- Jesus Christ was an authentic historical fact. He is the son of God incarnate. His birth, life, death, & resurrection are the center of every doctrine and ethic we embrace.
- People are primary and matter most to God. He values us and desires to spend time with us and relate in a personal way. The concept of Sabbath, the 2nd Coming, and after-life are examples of that fact.
- God loves us and gives purpose to our life here on earth. We are not simply an act of random chance or mathematical equation. We were designed, created, and empowered to reflect His glory.
- God loves us and the quality of our lives is important to Him. Jesus said, I give you life and life abundantly. Our bodies are the temple where God loves to reside and because of that, we are urged to treat them well.
For more information on SDA beliefs, contact our campus chaplains or visit www.adventist.org. The University also offers a one-hour religion course on Adventist Beliefs and Practices (RELT 150).
