Operating in collaboration with Global Campus, ALC is an initiative of the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists. This ministerial and educational digital media platform was designed to strengthen Adventist professionals through continuing education courses, teaching courses, ministerial training, and dissemination of uniquely Adventist content for the church community and beyond.

Envisioned as an informal continuing education social media space for Adventist educators globally to mentor and inspire each other, the Adventist Educator Blog's short articles simply share what's working in the experience of dedicated Adventist teachers and educational leaders serving in Adventist and other educational settings.

CIRCLE serves as a comprehensive source for locating the ever-expanding array of resources for Seventh-day Adventist educators as they continue the teaching ministry of Jesus Christ.
This Adventist resource curation service links educators who need resources with those who have resources anytime, anywhere. Links to materials created by Adventist educators for any level of learning are priority; other reviewed and recommended Christian and secular materials are included to save busy educators time. CIRCLE partners with educators globally to research and share resources in appropriate formats for varying levels of technology. As the google for educational tools, thanks to North American Division and General Conference funding since 1999, CIRCLE continues limited service as a curator of diverse Christian education tools.
