The Collegedale Spanish-American Seventh-day Adventist church was founded as a mission group in 1985. It all started as a group of Southern Adventist University students, both Hispanics and Americans, decided to have a Sabbath school class together. They moved around campus until the university and some Adventists neighbors decided to help them make their dream come true of having their own temple.
I had a chance to sit down with the church’s current senior pastor, Gamaliel Feliciano, and SuCasa’s former and current youth directors, Martha Calderon and Carolina Bonilla, as they explained how the original congregation developed into the SuCasa church. Join me as we learn the history behind a congregation that has found a way to bridge its generational gap.
