Ohio Conference of Seventh-day Adventists

The Ohio Conference of Seventh-day Adventists is a network of over 100 diverse congregations, 11 schools, and one medical college within the state committed to being a Christ-centered, transforming presence in our communities and our world.  Ohio was the first local Seventh-day Adventist conference to be organized in 1861, and today has more than 14,000 members.  Known for pioneering outreach initiatives within the Adventist message, the Ohio Conference is home to historic institutions such as Worthington Foods (which later merged with the Kellogg Corporation), Harding Hospital (now part of the Ohio State University Medical Center), and Kettering Medical Center (now known as Kettering Health Network, a network of eight hospitals and 120 outpatient facilities).
