Adventist Information Ministry

What Adventist Information Ministry does

Adventist Information Ministry, operating as Adventist Connect, is a non-profit digital ministry initiative of the North American Division Corporation of Seventh-day Adventists that builds and operates a unified digital platform for Seventh-day Adventist churches, conferences, and schools across North America. The platform consists of three core products: Frame, a curated WordPress-based website platform with built-in event calendars, form builders, and media integrations (Unsplash, Pixabay, Giphy, YouTube, Vimeo); Thrive, an interest management and visitor follow-up system that tracks visits, small groups, and outreach activities; and Digital Prayer Ads, targeted Facebook and Instagram advertising aimed at community members seeking prayer. The Frame Knowledge Base provides documentation and tutorials to non-technical church administrators.

The organization functions as a ministry initiative rather than a commercial vendor. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the platform is provided as part of NAD's digital mission efforts. Distribution is denominational and direct: Adventist Connect runs the NAD Local Church Digital Mission Initiative, a structured 3-month guided program that selects pilot digital mission churches within conferences, delivers digital missionary training, and supports social media and prayer-focused outreach. Office locations are in Berrien Springs, Michigan, with support available via phone, digital engagement forms, and the support knowledge base. Customer segments are narrow and vertical: local SDA churches, regional conferences/unions, and SDA-affiliated schools in the U.S. and Canada. No public funding rounds, acquisitions, or commercial revenue figures are disclosed, consistent with its status as a non-profit religious entity under NAD corporate authority.
