Note by Ron:
Every member of the SDA church who knows of the following debacle is corporately
responsible for supporting an apostate organization that would imbibe such
forbidden fruitage as would result in the loss of at least 70 souls who were
led to Babylon. This becomes even more serious when one considers that Jesus
would have died for one faithful soul. End note.
— AND BE WELCOMED BACK AFTERWARD Alex Bryan Plants a Church In the early 1990s, when Gordon Bietz was president of Southern Adventist University, at
Collegedale, Tennessee, Alex Bryan was in attendance
as a theology By the time Bryan had graduated, Elder Bietz had become president of the Georgia Cumberland
Conference. This was one of the “church plantings”
that was heartily encouraged by the leadership of the
North American The church planting arrangement, which
started in the mid-1990s, differed from the celebration
church pattern In contrast, under the celebration
pattern, Adventist pastors tried to change existing Adventist congregations In order to receive training for
conducting celebration churches, Adventist pastors all across
America were sent, at conference expense, to the
Milwaukie SDA Church, on the south side of Portland,
Oregon. There they received instruction from its pastor,
David Snyder, In
2004, the pastor of the other, largest celebration church From the mid-90s, down to the present
time, pastors slated to start “planted churches” have
been sent to the immense Willow Creek Church, on the
south side A faithful historic believer, who
regularly attends an Adventist church in the Atlanta area,
wrote this: “The church that Alex started was
essentially a rockand- As others have done elsewhere, Alex
quickly learned a very important lesson. The kids on the
streets were not interested in going to church on
Saturday mornings. Why attend a Saturday church, when there
is no worldly sense in doing so? The only reason for
such a practice are definite commands given in the
Bible,—but And Bryan, and the other entertainment pastors
in our denomination, preach that obeying the Bible is
old-fashioned. So, shortly after starting this new type
of church, Bryan decided that, instead of holding
his church worship But, after this had continued for a time,
Georgia Cumberland Conference officials tactfully
suggested that This went on for a number of months; but,
ultimately, when he kept refusing to abandon Sunday
morning church services,—Bryan was fired. However, Alex recognized that it was
coming; and, so, he prepared his congregation for the
event. (The conference Adventists in the Atlanta area had
initially flocked to his church out of curiosity, but many had
become enchanted When he was finally discharged from the
ministry, he took all of his members—about 70—with
him. This is something of a backwards way to
plant churches. The denomination is losing more members than it is gaining! Yet “church planting”
continues down It does seem that there are those in high
places in the denomination who want to eradicate every
last vestige Currently, Alex’s church, located in a
northern suburb of Greater Atlanta, is called The New Community Church of Roswell. He holds services only on Sunday at While faithful believers treasure that
name (and sometimes are sued for using it), the liberals
among us —Oh, by the way, there is more to
the story! The Carolina Conference is the next
conference just north of the Georgia Cumberland Conference. Their leaders were anxious to provide
speakers to entertain their young people at their May 28-June

(11:00 a.m.- 12:00 noon) for the young adults. One of
