The Word of God
The Holy Scriptures, Old and New Testaments, are the written Word of God. The Bible is the only rule of faith and practice, sufficient for all doctrine and instruction.
2 Timothy 3:16-172 Peter 1:20-21Isaiah 8:20
What We Believe
We hold fast to the fundamental truths of Scripture as understood by Seventh-day Adventists, with particular emphasis on the present truth for this generation.
The Godhead
There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons. God is immortal, all-powerful, all-knowing, above all, and ever present.
Deuteronomy 6:4Matthew 28:191 John 5:7
The Sabbath
The seventh day of the week is the Sabbath of the Lord, a memorial of Creation and a sign of sanctification. From sunset Friday to sunset Saturday, we cease from secular work and worship our Creator.
Genesis 2:1-3Exodus 20:8-11Isaiah 58:13-14Mark 2:27-28
The Second Coming
The return of Christ is the blessed hope of the church. His coming will be literal, personal, visible, and worldwide. The signs of the times indicate His coming is near.
John 14:1-3Acts 1:9-11Revelation 1:7Matthew 24:30-31
The Sanctuary
The heavenly sanctuary is the center of Christ's high priestly ministry. In 1844, Christ entered the Most Holy Place to begin the investigative judgment, a work of cleansing foretold in Daniel 8:14.
Hebrews 8:1-5Hebrews 9:23-24Daniel 8:14Revelation 14:6-7
The Three Angels' Messages
These messages of Revelation 14:6-12 call the world to worship the Creator, proclaim the fall of Babylon, and warn against the mark of the beast. This is present truth for our time.
Revelation 14:6-12Revelation 18:1-4
The State of the Dead
The dead rest in the grave awaiting the resurrection. There is no consciousness in death. At Christ's return, the righteous dead will be raised to immortality.
Ecclesiastes 9:5-6Psalm 146:4John 11:11-141 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Health Reform
Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. We honor God by caring for our health through proper diet, exercise, and abstinence from harmful substances.
1 Corinthians 6:19-201 Corinthians 10:31Romans 12:1-2
The Spirit of Prophecy
The writings of Ellen G. White are a continuing source of truth, comfort, and guidance for the remnant church, a lesser light pointing to the greater light of Scripture.
Revelation 12:17Revelation 19:10Amos 3:7Joel 2:28-29
