About Seventh-day Adventists
The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a mainstream Protestant church with approximately 19 million members worldwide, including more than one million members in North America. The Seventh-day Adventist Church seeks to enhance quality of life for people everywhere and to let people know that Jesus is coming again soon.
Adventists believe a Trinity of three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—make up one God. They made salvation possible when Jesus, the Son, came to earth as a baby in Bethlehem and lived a sinless life in accordance with the Father’s will. When Jesus was crucified for the sins of the people of the world and arose from the dead on the third day, victory was won for everyone.
When He returned to heaven following the resurrection, Jesus left the Holy Spirit to serve as our Comforter and Counselor. He promised to return to earth a second time to complete His plan of salvation and take His people to heaven. Adventists are among the believers who look forward to that day.
Adventists believe that God is concerned with the quality of human life, and that everything—the way we live, eat, speak, think, treat each other, and care for the world around us—is part of His plan. Our families, our children, our jobs, our talents, our money, and our time are all important to Him.

Motto
God’s Word, God’s Will, God’s Work, God’s Way.
Gods Word:
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16,17)
Gods Will:
God’s will is contained in the 10 commandments – “have no other gods before Me; make for yourself no carved images; do not take the name of the Lord in vain; remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy; honour your father and mother; do not murder; do not commit adultery; do not steal; do not bear false witness; do not covet what belongs to another.”
Gods Way:
“Christ’s method alone will give true success in reaching the people. The Savior mingled with men as one who desired their greatest good. He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs and when He had won their confidence, He bade them, “Follow Me.” (Ministry of Healing p.143)
