What Do We Believe?

Seventh-day Adventist beliefs are meant to permeate your whole life. Growing out of scriptures that paint a compelling portrait of God, you are invited to explore, experience and know the One who desires to make us whole.  


Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible as their only creed and hold certain FUNDAMENTAL BELIEFS to be the teaching of the Holy Scriptures. These beliefs, as set forth in the church's Statement of 27 Fundamental Beliefs, constitute the church’s understanding and expression of the teaching of Scripture. Revision of these statements may be expected at a General Conference Session when the church is led by the Holy Spirit to a fuller understanding of Bible truth or finds better language in which to express the teachings of God’s Holy Word.

ADVENTIST CHURCH ORGANIZATION

Seventh-day Adventist Churches are located in 235 countries and areas of the world as recognized by the United Nations ( Summary of Statistics as of December 31, 2018 – https://www.adventistarchives.org/quick-statistics-on-the-seventh-day-adventist-church)

 The global  Church is organized with a representative form of church government. This means authority in the Church comes from the membership of local churches. Executive responsibility is given to representative bodies and officers to govern the Church. Four levels of Church structure lead from the individual believer to the worldwide Church organization:

The local church is made up of individual believers

The local conference, or local field/mission, is made up of a number of local churches in a state, province, or territory

The union conference, or union field/mission, is made up of conferences or fields within a larger territory (often a grouping of states or a whole country)

The General Conference, the most extensive unit of organization, is made up of all unions/entities in all parts of the world. Divisions are sections of the General Conference, with administrative responsibility for particular geographical areas.
