Ontario Conference Network of Adventist Communicators Launched

January 21, 2026 | Edwin Martin | Ontario Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church

The Ontario Conference Network of Adventist Communicators (OCNAC) was officially launched on January 18, 2026, uniting nearly 100 communication and media leaders from across Ontario.

OCNAC exists to equip communication professionals, volunteers, and creatives with training, resources, and a collaborative structure to support communication initiatives throughout the Ontario Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Its mission is to foster a mission-focused network of skilled communicators committed to advancing the gospel through excellence in media, communication, and creative ministry.

At the launch meeting, a draft of the OCNAC Terms of Reference was presented and received strong support through a Zoom poll. A nominating committee was formed to recommend candidates for leadership roles, including chairperson, vice-chair, secretary, treasurer, public relations officer, social media coordinator, and district representatives. Members will meet in person in Spring 2026 to ratify the Terms of Reference and vote on leadership appointments.

The following were selected as members of the OCNAC Nominating Committee:

• East Central Ontario - Mark De Leon
• Eastern Ontario - Kirby Joseph
• Metro East - Troy Clarke
• Metro North Central - Rudy Moscoso
• Metro South Central - Sara Elizabeth Symister
• Metro West - Garner Liverpool
• Metro West Central - Pastor Daviceto Swaby
• Near North - Lance Flash
• Northern Ontario - Selena Rogers
• Southern Ontario - Nickiesha Linton
• Western Ontario - Pastor Dario Ferreira
