WHO ARE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS?
"Seventh-day" refers to our belief in the seventh-day Sabbath - the fourth of the Bible's Ten Commandments. "Adventist" refers to our belief that Jesus Christ will soon return in person to his earth. Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible as their only creed and hold certain fundamental beliefs to be the teaching of the Holy Scriptures. These beliefs, constitute the church's understanding and expression of the teaching of Scripture. God's greatest desire is for you to see a clear picture of His character. When you see Him clearly, you will find His love irresistible. Scripture is a road map. The Bible is God's voice, speaking His love personally to you today.
WE ARE
- Christians who love Jesus Christ and strive to make Him the center of all we believe and do.
- A rapidly growing worldwide fellowship of over sixteen million members.
- A church that is eager to share the truth about what God is really like - as seen in the life, character, and death of Jesus Christ.
