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.
Why Worship on Saturday?
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.”
In honor of God’s word, we worship on the seventh day of the week—Saturday, the Sabbath of the Old and New Testament scriptures. We keep Sabbath because it is the day God has blessed and set apart for us to celebrate the creation of this world.
Scripture teaches that God has graced mankind with this holy day to give us rest and joy in celebrating the redemptive work which Jesus accomplished on the Cross. Our Savior kept the seventh day holy during His time on earth—even in death—and it is our privilege to follow in His footsteps, allowing the Father to continue His restorative work in our hearts as we gather to turn our eyes upon Jesus each Sabbath.
By blessing this day God has revealed His heart’s desire to bless all mankind, for the day comes to everyone—believers and nonbelievers alike. We believe that by accepting this gracious gift we can experience the most precious rest in His grace.
