Organization
Dates
- Existence: May 15, 1980 to Present
Adventist Heritage Ministry (AHM) began under the name of Adventist Historic Properties (AHP), Inc. On May 15, 1980, the first donation was made by the late James F. Barnard to acquire the Deacon John White home in Battle Creek, Michigan. The following year AHP was incorporated, formed by a group of dedicated church administrators, educators, and laymen because of the drastic loss of historic denominational buildings during recent years. As a volunteer, non-profit corporation, AHP was dedicated to serving the church by acquiring, preserving, and opening to visitors significant sites associated with the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. In 1988 the organization was incorporated into the North American Division. Expanding its purpose “to the making of committed disciples who have found a Friend in the soon-coming Jesus,” the AHP board voted to change its name to Adventist Heritage Ministry on September 12, 1993. In 1997 the Ellen G. White Estate Board of Trustees agreed to become the constituency for AHM.
