Hagerstown Haitian: Celebrating One Year of God’s Faithfulness

The Hagerstown Haitian Seventh-day Adventist Group, a satellite of Horeb and Bethany Haitian SDA Churches in Maryland and led by Pastor Dr. Brian Ladiny, joyfully celebrated its first anniversary. Established on December 7, 2024, the group marked this milestone on December 20, 2025, with a special service attended by over 160 individuals, including 34 non-SDA visitors.

The celebration featured a 21-member Mass Choir, vibrant youth participation, and the testimony of six baptisms resulting from a virtual evangelistic series led by Pastor Tabuanka Jean, who is assisting in the church’s growth and development. The group currently averages 60–70 worshippers each Sabbath.

We thank God for His grace, the dedication of the leadership, and the support of United Bethel Methodist Church for opening its doors. To God be all the glory for what He has done.
