Why This Weekend Matters

The Raleigh SDA Church has a unique opportunity to invest in people and their future. This weekend is more than a workshop—it’s a sacred moment to build bridges, repair gaps, and reimagine how we walk with one another as believers, educators, leaders, and neighbors. Together, we’ll explore what it means to be a trauma-responsive, wellness-centered, and spiritually alive church community.
