"SIGNS OF HOPE"                                                       Serving the North Bahamas Islands: Abaco, Grand Bahama, Bimini, and Berry Islands

History:

The North Bahamas Mission of Seventh-day Adventists is part of the Worldwide Church of Seventh-day Adventists. The Mission was organized in January 2003 when the Bahamas Conference was divided in two administrative fields for growth and expansion of the church and its work in the Bahamas. The Mission was officially inaugurated on June 27, 2003, when the first Mission session was held.  Prior to its establishment, the North Bahamas Mission was aligned as the Northern Region of the Bahamas Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Dr. Keith D. Albury served as the inaugural President of this dynamic new Mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church until the time of his untimely death in January 2006.  Pastor E. Bryan Tinker currently serves as the President.
