  • Mission, Structure, and Function
    Mission, Structure, and Function: An Analysis of Organizational Unity and Mission Particularity in the North American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church by Leslie N. Pollard, Ph.D, D.Min, MBA President, Oakwood University November 18, 2014 This paper is an open invitation for theologians to join this conversation. One frequently overlooked aspect of SDA ecclesiological conversation concerns structuring communities for mission. I suppose that it would be natural that we who are administrative theologians to think about these things! We wrestle with the theological implications of operating mission and business units for the church on a daily basis. But the question of structure has broader importance, because we can argue that ecclesial structuration, the process of creating structures, serves as a tangible expression of a community’s self-understanding, as well as it core mission. In its “diakonia” to the world, the church actively discloses its understanding of God’s kingdom and God’s community. This paper is intended is intended to provide a reflective examination of the ecclesiastical structures existing in the North American Division1 of Seventh-day Adventists (hereafter, NAD) officially designated as “Regional Conferences.”2 The ecclesiological implications of such structuring holds significant implications for SDA missiology and ecclesiology. If, across the chronological span of the Christian Church, from its founding to its finality, structuring is seen to have advanced its mission, the question arises as to the limits and 1The North American Division is one of 13 world divisions of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. It consists of Bermuda, Canada, the French possession of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, the United States of America, Johnston Island, Midway Islands, and all other islands of the Pacific not attached to the other 12 divisions.
