Where and what is the Pacific Union Conference?
The manner in which the Seventh-day Adventist Church (SDA)2 is organized is unique among churches. There are some 12 million of us worldwide divided into 13 sections called Divisions. Divisions are further divided into sections called union conferences (“union” for short). The Unions are subdivided into sections called local conferences (“conference” for short). Conferences are composed of all the SDA churches in a given area. Seven such Conferences compose the Pacific Union.3 Pacific Union is one of seven Unions in the North American Division, which is one of the 13 divisions that make up the world church.
