Our Beliefs
- The Bible - Is the word of God, showing us how to live. It reveals God’s will and teaches us timeless lessons we can apply to all parts of our lives.
- The Godhead - There is one God. And that this one God is three co-eternal beings who work together in unity. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have always been, and always will be.
- Creation - Genesis tells us the story of the 6-day creation week, followed by the first Sabbath. God’s relational love is introduced right away as he creates a perfect world, then personally forms the first two human beings to populate this planet.
- Plan Of Redemption - Though humanity is sinful and corrupt (Romans 3:23), God is love (1 John 4:8). In His love for us He devised a plan “before the foundation of the world” (Ephesians 1:3-14) to redeem mankind from sin. This plan involves God’s only Son, Jesus Christ, being born of a virgin, taking on our humanity, and then dying in our place—bearing the eternal consequences of sin so we can be reconciled with God (John 3:16). Through Him humanity can find atonement for our sins, as He was willing to be our substitute, suffering the condemnation that should have been meant for us.
- The Remnant - When you hear the term “remnant” as it’s used in the Bible, it refers to a group of people who remain loyal to God after a time of hardship. There is special meaning to the remnant of believers that will exist in the last days, when earth is at its worst, right before Christ’s Second Coming. Scripture tells us who will make up this end-time remnant: those “who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus” (Revelation 12:17, ESV)
- Baptism - The biblical practice of baptism demonstrates a person’s commitment to Jesus Christ. It’s a public ceremony proclaiming that Jesus is their Lord and Saviour. Seventh-day Adventists believe and practice the biblical custom of baptism by immersion, in a similar way that Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist.
