Welcome

Welcome to the PTEC Blog. We are a multicultural group of mainly young people from across the Pacific who have much in common. Like the children of Israel we move from venue to venue for our worship meetings. Set up in the late 1970's this congregation began with about 10 members and has grown to approximately two hundred members.

Originally known as the University Church, it took on the new branding and identity following plans to build a church where programmes could be expanded to include more vigorous campus ministry activities and pastoral care for students who have left their regional homes across the Pacific to get a qualification. The congregation is currently pastored by Talatala Joe Talemaitoga. He is also the Chaplain for the Adventist Students Association Fiji wide and although the PTEC church takes up much of his time, he also works with students studying at other tertiary institutions across Viti Levu.

PTEC is a youthful, vibrant congregation of South Pacific and Fijian students who are in Suva to study at tertiary institutions, such as the University of the South Pacific, Fiji School of Medicine and Fiji Institute of Technology.

Our mission theme for this year is: "Grow Curious, Grow Together and Grow in God".

Multi-Ethnic Combine @ Novotel Entertainment Centre


The Multi-Ethnic District comprises of those churches which do not have as their medium of communication the Fijian language. The churches include: Tamavua English SDA Church, Mount Olives Rabian Church, Nasinu Indian Church, PTEC SDA Church and the Suva South Church. The theme for the sabbath programme is, "God First". The speaker for divine service will be Rod Brady, the Chief Financial Officer with the South Pacific Division who is in the country for Mid-Year meetings. He has chosen to speak on the topic:"When no one is looking".


The picturesque location for this meeting is an ideal one for worship and given the time in most of the student calendars, this would be both a blessing and an opportunity to re-energise mindsets for examinations and preparations for examinations.The PTEC congregation has been given responsibility for the AY programme which will be supported by the different cultural groups in this congregation.

    Rod Brady's sermon today was a really interesting one raising awareness to how as Christians we could be distracted through the media and even by innnocent children's movies which could begin to move their attention away from care for their neighbour to that of animals.
