Victorian Conference

Welcome to the website of the Victorian Conference, an organisational unit of the worldwide Seventh-day Adventist Church.

The Bible, God's special message to humanity, is our only creed.  Love for God ought to supersede all else because God's love for us is beyond measure. 

Christ is at the centre of that love and thus He is the centre of the Seventh-day Adventist Church's beliefs and purposes.

MAJOR HEALTH SURVEY FOR ADVENTIST CHURCH

About 535 church members in Victorian Conference will be invited to take part in a major new health survey during the month of March.  The survey will involve 4,200 randomly selected church members in Australia and New Zealand, Adventist High Schools students and Avondale College Students. This will be the third such study of Adventist lifestyle conducted by the church during the last 20 years.

Pastor Kevin Price, Adventist Health Director, South Pacific, says that this new study will provide a snapshot of health behaviours and attitudes and track changes since the 1989 and 2001 surveys. The data will enable the development of meaningful health programs for families and      young people and help local churches and conferences meet the health needs of church and community. Results of the survey will be presented later in 2012.

The randomly selected participants are asked to complete an anonymous questionnaire that includes questions on health and lifestyle matters. Participants will have the opportunity to complete a paper questionnaire or the same survey online.

Further details are available from your local conference Health Director, Sibilla Johnson or Pastor Kevin Price at the South Pacific Division.
