Collecting data, preserving records and conducting research around the work of the church provides essential information for understanding ministry effectiveness and making responsible decisions about how to use limited resources. This evidence-based approach to ministry helps identify best practices, celebrate successes, and course-correct when strategies are not producing the desired spiritual outcomes.

Groundbreaking Oxford Handbook of Seventh-day Adventism Published as New Reference Work about Global Adventism
Ten years ago, after delivering a well-received presentation at the annual American Society of Church History meeting, Michael Campbell, North American Division director of Archives, Statistics, and Research, pitched the idea of a book on Adventism to the head book editor at Oxford University Press. Intrigued by Campbell’s introduction to Adventist scholarship, the editor invited him to submit a proposal. Their conversation was the catalyst for the groundbreaking Oxford Handbook of Seventh-day Adventism, a 39-chapter volume published in 2024 after much prayer and revision.
