Affirmation of Faith
By the Grace of God, I will remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy
and by living its holistic principles of mental, emotional, spiritual, and
physical rest be a Sabbath-keeping Christian throughout the entire week
(Ex. 20:8; Eph. 2:8; 1:4).

By the Holy Spirits renewing of my mind, I understand that my identity

is not only what I say but how I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me,
and that as Jesus is manifested in my mortal flesh, I am becoming His
living epistle, known and read of all men (Rom. 12:2; Jas. 1:22; Gal.
2:20; 2Cor. 3:2).

By revelation and necessity, I am inspired to study the Bible, Gods holy

word, to show myself approved unto God; and by receiving its
teachings, reproofs, corrections, and instructions; I can live every day of
the week with patience, comfort, and hope (2Tim. 2:15; 3:16, 17; Rom.
15:4).

By the faith of Jesus, I purpose to grow by surrendering my selfcenteredness to His power, presence and commandment to love one
another as He has loved me; so this world might be a better place
wherever I testify of Christ (Rev.14:12; 12:17; Matt. 28:18, 20; Jn.
15:17; 2Cor. 5:17; Tit. 2:12).

We Believe

Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, provides salvation and eternal life now. Galatians
2:20; Hebrews 12:1, 2; Philippians 2:5-8; I John 5:11-13.

There is one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. II Corinthians 13:14; I Peter 1:2.

The Bible is the only rule of faith and practice. II Timothy 2:15; II Peter 1:19-21.

The Ten Commandments reveal God's will, sin, and reminds all their need of a savior.
Genesis 3:17-19; Romans 5:12-15; Galatians 3:22-24.

The Seventh-day Sabbath, is a binding part of Gods unchanging and perpetual law, and
has been made for our holistic benefit. Exodus 20:8-11; Deutoronomy 5:12-15;
Hebrews 4:9-11.

One who is justified by faith, God declares righteous on the ground of Jesus Christ's
substitutionary life and death. Romans 4:3-5; Galatians 3:7-11.

The fruit of the Gospel includes the new birth and progressive sanctification until
glorification at the day of Jesus Christ. John 3:1-7; Acts 2:37, 38; Romans 6:1-6.

God writes His law upon the hearts and minds of believers in Jesus by His Holy Spirit.
James 2:10-12; Hebrews 8:7-10; 2 Corinthinians 3:3.

One becomes a member of Jesus body, the Church, by faith. I Corinthians 12:13;
Ephesians 2:13.

Participation in Jesus body includes baptism, worship, the Lord's Supper and spiritual
gifts. Ephesians 4:8,11; Matthew 28:18-20; I Corinthians 11:23-29; Hebrews 10:22-25.

The Christian life is a personal relationship with Christ by committing one's self, time,
talents, possessions including (tithe and offerings), health, and influence to God.
Malachi 3:8-12; Matthew 23:23; I Corinthians 3:16, 17; Deuteronomy 14:3-20.

The quality of life in this present world is enhanced by following the principles of
health proper Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Fresh Air, Rest, and
Trust in God. 1 Corinthinans 6:19-20; 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

Believers do not personally appear in judgment because Jesus, the Mediator, presents
them as righteous in Himself. Romans 8:1-4; I John 2:1, 2.

Jesus literal, personal, visible, and imminent second coming is our blessed hope for
transitioning from a deteriorating world condition to the pristine purity of Gods
glorious earth made new. Titus 2:13; John 14:1-3.

The dead remain in their grave, unconscious to anything under the sun, until either the
resurrection of life or condemnation. Ecclesiates 9:5, 6; John 5:28, 29; Revelations
20:10.

Believers receive immortality at Christ's return and the wicked eternal death at the
Millenniums end as the new earth becomes the saint's possession forever. John 14:1-3;
Daniel 7:18,22,27; Psalms 37:10, 11, 29: I Thessalonians 4:16, 17.

Seventh-day Adventists are called to announce Christ's return to the world by

proclaiming the Gospel. Matthew 24:14; Acts 1:8; Revelations 10:8-11; 14:6-11.
