 Kerusso Worship Collective



Kerusso Worship Collective began as a youth-led movement within the Kettering Seventh-day Adventist Church, where a group of young people found their voice in worship, writing songs, and their purpose in proclaiming Jesus. Now composed of college students and emerging leaders, Kerusso is more than a band—it's a ministry. It’s led by Cristian Sorto, Youth & Worship Pastor at Kettering SDA.  Our debut album marked the beginning of a journey, and with our second album—Revival Nights - Live From The Upper Room - releasing this summer, we're more committed than ever to leading people into authentic encounters with God. Through music, we proclaim. Through worship, we preach. This is Kerusso.

WELCOME MESSAGE

 BOB CUNDIFF, DMin (President, Ohio Conference)

Welcome to our 2025 Campmeeting! As you are likely aware, this year’s camp meeting signals a significant transition to an annual multi-day camp meeting experience here at the Ohio Conference. Hosted here in our beautiful new facility, this 5-day camp meeting will feature several well-known speakers, seminars, recreational activities, and opportunities for fellowship with friends new and old. Our principal speaker, Dr. Phillip Samaan, is a retired theology professor from Southern Adventist University. He was one of the preferred professors on that campus and is internationally known as an engaging pastor, author, and speaker. 

 

Our theme for this year is, once again, Building for Eternity.  This theme continues to support the three-year Building for Eternity Capital Campaign that helped cast the vision and raise funds for our new auditorium. In addition to serving as our new Campmeeting home, this auditorium will function as an event center, evangelistic training center, retreat center, and sports complex and provide programming and gymnasium facilities for summer camp. The administration offers its deepest gratitude to the many members who have made a financial commitment to this fundraising effort. Your faithfulness and support have helped move the mission forward here at the Ohio Conference and will continue to be a blessing for generations to come. 

 

Whether you are commuting each day, staying in a local hotel, camping, or staying in one of the cabins here on campus, we know that the many presentations, Bible studies, and opportunities for fellowship that this year’s event offers will bless you. Let’s continue to press together in our efforts at Building for Eternity until Jesus comes again to take us home!
