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".

Love, Courtship & Marriage Weekend




The weekend began with Talatala Keperieli Duana taking Vespers @ N111 and high lighting the many Red Lights and Green Lights of having a Relationship. This past weekend, as he took our Love, Courtship and Marriage seminar, one could begin to see that the many things he was mentioning were actually stuff our Young Congregation were experiencing, as there was much laughter. So immediately one could make out that it was happening.

He then took our Divine Service on Sabbath at FTA Hall and Adventist Youth Program in the afternoon back @ N111. Overall, it was a program filled to capacity, that saw AY's @ N111 filled up with no more seats leaving people to sit on the Stairs.We were also privileged to hear a special item from the Young People from Tamavua with their Rendition of the Samoan Brother's Gospel Group The Katina's - "I Wanna Say Thank You". Vinaka Jesel and the Crew.

The Weekend ended with a fun filled Social program put together by Clayton, Mele and our New Associate Talatala, Mitieli Suka.
