Amarillo Karen Seventh-day Adventist Company

Over the past 10 years, thousands of Karen people have come to the U.S. from refugee camps in Southeast Asia through a U.S. government resettlement program. Many of them who were relocated to Amarillo, Texas, are descendants of the first people who accepted the Adventist message in their native land more than a century ago. Most recently, a dedicated group of Karen Adventist believers started worshiping together and formed a Company that is now part of the Texico Conference family. With the support of the NAD Office of Refugee Ministries, this newly established group was welcomed as the 40th officially recognized congregation of Karen members in the North American Division.
