Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible as the only source of our beliefs. We consider our movement to be the result of the Protestant conviction Sola Scriptura—the Bible as the only standard of faith and practice for Christians.

Currently, Adventists hold 28 fundamental beliefs that can be organized into six categories—the doctrines of God, man, salvation, the church, the Christian life and last day events. In each teaching, God is the architect, who in wisdom, grace and infinite love, is restoring a relationship with humanity that will last for eternity.

Our Beliefs

By George Cartwright March 29, 2022
We are made in the image of God with individuality, the power and freedom to think and to do; we are an indivisible unity of body, mind, and spirit, dependent upon God for life and breath and all else.

In infinite love and mercy, God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, so that in Him we might be made the righteousness of God.
By George Cartwright March 29, 2022
The second coming of Christ is the blessed hope of the church, the grand climax of the gospel.
