Commemorating the 2,000th year of Jesus’ baptism and launching September 5, 2026, NAD President, Dr. G. Alexander Bryant, echoes that “at its heart, it’s really about one thing: Jesus. His life, His ministry, His death, His resurrection, His ascension, and His soon return.”

This linked PowerPoint, together with the attached document, provide information, ideas, and guidance on how our schools and students can participate and lead in the All Things New endeavor to:

I can’t wait to learn of the remarkable things God will accomplish in and through each of us through the All Things New initiative! Thank you for being a part of lifting up Jesus and reflecting his extravagant love for humanity.
