The Mission
The mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is to proclaim
to all people the everlasting gospel in the context of the three
angels' messages of Revelation 14:6-12,
leading them to accept Jesus as personal Savior and to unite with
His church, and nurturing them in preparation for His soon return.
Our
Method
We pursue this mission under the guidance of the Holy Spirit through:
1) Preaching. Accepting Christ's
commission (Matthew 28:18-20), we proclaim to all the world the
message of a loving God, most fully revealed in His Son's reconciling
ministry and atoning death. Recognizing the Bible to be God's
infallible revelation of His will, we present its full message,
including the second advent of Christ and the continuing authority
of His Ten Commandment law with its reminder of the seventh-day
Sabbath.
2) Teaching. Acknowledging that
development of mind and character is essential to God's redemptive
plan, we promote the growth of a mature understanding of and relationship
to God, His Word, and the created universe.
3) Healing. Affirming the biblical
emphasis on the well-being of the whole person, we make the preservation
of health and the healing of the sick a priority and through our
ministry to the poor and oppressed, cooperate with the Creator
in His compassionate work of restoration.
Our Vision
In harmony with the great prophecies of the Scriptures, we see
as the climax of God's plan the restoration of all His creation
to full harmony with His perfect will and righteousness.
