On September 26, 2026, the Malandag Seventh-day Adventist Church hosted a uplifting celebration marking the Alive in Jesus Third Quarter Graduation alongside a dedicated Teachersโ Dedication Ceremony. Framed by the theme, โNurturing Hearts, Illuminating Minds, Living in Faith,โ the event brought together young learners, families, and church leaders to recognize the children’s achievements while honoring the educators who guide their spiritual development. Beyond presenting certificates and milestones, the gathering reaffirmed the churchโs commitment to providing young people with a strong foundation in Godโs love, helping them build practical biblical values and discover their purpose in Christ.
The guest speaker, Ms. Marie Joy C. Mamac (MSA, APM, Childrenโs Ministries Director), offered an inspiring address focused on the lasting impact of early spiritual foundation and the vital role educators play in character formation. The dedication portion of the program challenged teachers to reflect Christโs patience, love, and compassion in their daily lives, serving as living examples for their students. As these young learners step forward to apply their faith beyond the classroom, the Malandag SDA Church continues to uphold its visionโbelieving that pouring into a childโs heart today raises a generation that will walk steadfastly with God tomorrow.
