Who is Adventist Connect?
Adventist Connect is an official ministry of the North American Division (NAD). Adventist Connect is the steward and provider for the NAD's website service offered to all official churches, schools, organizations and ministries within the division. Adventist Connect provides the support and management of the website platform, Frame, for the division.
What is Frame?
Frame is the official website hosting and management for churches, schools, and ministries within the NAD's mission for digital ministry. This service is available at no cost to official Adventist organizations in the North American Division. It provides an easy way to manage your website and share information with your community. Frame is built using a curated WordPress platform, which means it is powerful, flexible, and widely supported — but upgraded to be simpler and more ministry-focused.
Frame Website Levels: Basic vs. Advanced
There are two levels of Frame websites offered:
Basic Websites: We automatically generate a basic, placeholder website for every official church and school in the division from data in eAdventist. These sites ensure your ministry has a digital presence with your location and contact information.
Advanced Websites: You can request to Site Upgrade to an Advanced website by going to AdventistConnect.org. After a brief verification process to confirm your identity, we will launch a full, WordPress-based website for your ministry. This allows you to build custom pages, post news, and fully manage your content.
