Michiana Fil-Am Seventh-day Adventist Church

Established in 1993 by the Michigan Conference of SDA and made up of families primarily of Filipino descent, the Michiana Fil-Am Seventh-day Adventist Church exists to be empowered by Jesus Christ, to share the three angels' messages to the various ethnic groups as mandated by the Gospel Commission and to nurture them in preparation for the second coming of Jesus Christ, our personal savior.

In its early years, the young church met in Price Hall on the campus of Andrews University until they embarked in faith to construct a church building at its current location.
The original church building was built in 2002 with the west wing expansion following in 2010.
In partnership with the Living Word Fellowship congregation, the Advent Discipleship Center, located just behind the church, was built in 2012.
