The Seventh-day Adventist Church is one of many Christian communities of faith. We treasure the knowledge that we are loved and accepted by the Creator God. Our name comes from the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath and a belief in the second coming or “advent” of Jesus. Adventists attend church on Saturday—joining together for worship, fellowship, and Bible study. The Bible is the source of our Christian beliefs.
The church is a safe place for healing and growth. The Adventist Church welcomes all people to worship services. Formal membership includes being baptized by immersion which symbolizes our union with God, the forgiveness of sins, and our desire to enter into a new life. The most important goal of the Adventist Church is to exemplify the love of God and to proclaim hope for people in a troubled world. We believe we need God and each other in order for life to be meaningful.
