Scan for WAU Giving Priorities

Since its establishment in 1907, Sligo Seventh-day Adventist Church has become a landmark synonymous with Washington Adventist University’s campus. Every student that has passed through the archway of the Gateway to Service shares memories with Sligo SDA church, either attending weekly Convocation or the occasional Sabbath service in the church’s sanctuary. Maybe they remember the classes taught by Sligo pastors in the H.M.S. Richards Hall Religion building, directly adjacent to Sligo Church. Either way, it’s bonds like these that foster Sligo’s historical connection with Washington Adventist University— not only its current students but alumni as well.

Sligo Church has employed several WAU graduates throughout the years with the purpose of preparing graduates for moral and competent leadership—who have each contributed much to the campus community, especially through ministry. That tradition continues today, with the current employment of Pastors Barrientos, Fielder, and Gantt: all WAU alumni.
