About the NPUC Gleaner

The Gleaner is a gathering place with news and inspiration for Seventh-day Adventist members and friends throughout the northwestern United States.

The original printed Gleaner was first published in 1906, and has since expanded to a full magazine with a monthly circulation of more than 40,000.
