The
Seventh-Day Adventist Church
is an organization of Christian believers. Adventists base their faith in
God as revealed through Jesus Christ and as shown through the Bible, inspired
by the Holy Spirit. Written down over many years, the Bible presents the
essential truth about God. The Holy Spirit inspired human writers to reveal
the character of God and how he wishes to save all those who come to him.
The Bible explains the nature of God and the way God's followers will behave
as a result of their relationship with him.
Adventists believe
that the Ten Commandments are not multiple choice and strive to keep them
all. This includes the fourth Commandment, hence the name Seventh-Day
Adventists and as a result our services are on Saturday. Believing that no
mortal man is perfect we welcome all sinners that wish to worship and learn
more about God and emulate His Son, Jesus
who by the way is perfect.
Adventists believe in a healthful lifestyle by abstaining from alcohol, tobacco
and illegal drugs while promoting a healthy diet with exercise.
Along with Spiritual development,
the Church is also committed to community development, disaster relief,
health, and education
as evidenced by many Adventist institutions in these fields. The
Adventist Development and Relief Agency
(ADRA), an international relief organization often works closely with the
International Red Cross and other agencies to battle disaster and famine
worldwide. Also of the many education and healthcare facilities
Loma Linda University and Loma Linda University
Medical Center in California are premier Adventist institutions.
The Church also fosters mission
work at home and abroad through its satellite facility the Three Angels
Broadcasting Network or 3ABN.
