Chris Bailey to Serve as Sabbath School Director

We are pleased to share that on October 23, 2025, the Oklahoma Conference Executive Committee voted to welcome Chris Bailey as our new Sabbath School Director (volunteer position). We praise God for His leading and for Chris’ willingness to serve!

Chris Bailey discovered his calling to preach and teach during his college years. A third-generation Seventh-day Adventist, he has served in youth ministry, education, and lay-pastoring for many years. Through his personal ministry, he has helped support churches, families, and schools through Bible teaching, digital outreach, curriculum development, and revival initiatives. His ministry is centered on the love of God and the transformational power of His Word. Christ is married to Tara Bailey, who accepted a call this past April to serve as our conference's Education Director. 

“We are grateful for Chris’ love for Scripture and his passion to see Sabbath School grow and thrive here in Oklahoma, said Daniel Ortega, President of the Oklahoma Conference. "His heart for discipleship and spiritual education will be a blessing to our churches, our teachers, and our families across the state.”

Please join us in welcoming Chris Bailey to the Oklahoma Conference leadership team! Let’s keep him, his family, and our Sabbath School ministry in prayer as we move forward together.
