Just 10,032 feet away from Southern’s campus, the It Is Written ministries have found a new home.
It Is Written, a Seventh-day Adventist television program, recently made plans to construct a new custom facility for their ministry nearly two miles away from Southern. On July 10, the company held a groundbreaking ceremony to kick off construction.
“We had over 300 guests who came out in support of this new venture,” said Annalyse Hasty, editor for It is Written.
After the Adventist Media Center made a decision to sell their facility in California, the North American Division’s ministries had to find new locations. In 2014, It Is Written moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee and leased a space.
“We have quickly outgrown the space and need a place we can grow and be more efficient,” Hasty said.
Chattanooga was chosen because of It Is Written’s ties with Southern Adventist University through the Soul-winning and Leadership Training (SALT) program. They also work with Southern Adventist University’s School of Visual Art and Design in efforts to create new children's programming.
It Is Written also provides internships to Southern students.
“We have six to ten Southern student interns working in our office,” Hasty said.
The new facility will be built near the Collegedale Community Church. For more information, visit https://itiswritten.build.
