THE ADVENTIST DISCOVERY CENTRE

What is the ADC?

The Adventist Discovery Centre (UK and Ireland) is a correspondence school and resources centre. We offer free distance learning for your discovery journey. The four ADC vectors are: online and mailed courses, the FreeBible programme, books and booklets along with other valued digital media resources, and social network communities for interactive studies. Our centre is welcoming people of all backgrounds (see map below).

The Adventist Discovery Centre (ADC), formerly known as the Voice of Prophecy (VOP), was founded in 1945, as part of a world-wide network of Christian correspondence schools. From USA to Australia, and from South Africa to the Caribbean, currently there are 140 affiliate schools, in 127 countries, sharing resources in more than 100 languages and dialects.

ADC in the world

The Adventist Discovery Centre is serving students from UK and Ireland (with printed resources) and is open to online English-speaking students from all around the world. See below no less than 40 dots, each one for a specific country, on all continents, people interested in what we offer.

A still vibrant ministry

See ‘An Amazing Piano Story’, published in the book Just a Scrap of Paper, reflecting the work of the ADC. The mission is still vibrant today, with hundreds of students, 20 courses, and over 250,000 flyers, booklets and other pieces of literature distributed (2022-2023).

'You're not allowed to...'

So said Facebook (Meta) when we tried to promote our two websites (FreeBible and ADC) via paid advertising on their social media platform. If you think this is unbelievable, please read our report. However a friend of ADC thinks differently, and he wrote us an encouraging letter. [shared at the end].

The longest gap

100 years from advert to request. Few of the letters we receive at the ADC have such a remarkable background as this one, from Irwin.
