What We Believe

We believe in the four Cs of the Bible:

We believe in the four Cs of the Bible:

  1. CREATION – we believe that God created this world in six days and rested on the seventh day Sabbath. This gives us dignity, purpose and identity in Him who made us.
  2. COMMANDMENTS – we believe that God’s commandments are a transcript of His character – who He is. It lays out a structure of how He desires for us to live as we learn to understand His will for us.
  3. CROSS – we believe that “God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself” (2 Corinthians 5:19). He paid the penalty for our sins that we may receive His righteousness and salvation. We are saved by His grace when we believe in Him (Ephesians 2:8; John 3:16). We receive His gift of grace not because we are good or can earn it by being good.
  4. COMING – we believe that Jesus is coming again to bring an end to this world of sin and to take His children who believe in Him to the heavenly home He has prepared for them (John 14:1-3). This event is also a harbinger of the final judgment of the wicked and the cleansing of the universe from the presence of sin.

28 Fundamental Beliefs

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.
