We also encourage students to prepare a meal from their country for our Wendesday dinner and invite their friends to join them. Directing a ministry of this wide scope makes for a broad job description. Chaplains are expected to work well with others in being wise and positive role models. Another question we are often asked is where we obtain our funding. The budget includes rent recieved from house residents, subsidies from three area SDA churches and the conference, and from private donations.
Administration is handled by a conference committee and a small administrative council.
The conference Campus Advent Comittee meets as scheduled and hears reports, approves budgets and plans for the future. The Advent House Administrative Council meets monthly, with the purpose of administering day to day operations. Each council member is actually responsible for some phase of the ministry.
