We Believe
Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible as the only source of our beliefs. We believe in Jesus Christ and his love for us as expressed in his life, death, and resurrection. We also believe in the hope of a new life in Jesus and eternity with Him. Our church is part of the worldwide Seventh-day Adventist Church and over the years, our church has agreed upon key statements that summarize the principal teachings Seventh-day Adventists understand from the Bible. These statements are made collectively by a group of scholars studying and prayerfully searching the Bible with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Activities
Live Streaming
Each Sabbath, we stream our service over facebook live so that we can connect with each other during this unprecedented time. Please join us during Sabbath Worship Service each week on our facebook live stream
Prayer
We regularly meet to encourage each other and pray. This allows us to worship with our peers, petition God, and develop a Christ-like character. During this time we claim the promise "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them" (Matthew 18:20). If you're interested in participating, please reach out to the church office or pastor to get more details.
Prayer meetings are scheduled for Wednesdays 6:30-7:30pm each week located at the church. If you prefer praying over the phone, call the prayer line Thurs-Tues at 6:30am or at 6:30pm using 415-634-6763 with PIN 643616.
