Church Identity
We speak different languages. We dress differently. We have different jobs. Different styles. We live in different countries, cultures, and neighborhoods. We worship God in different ways. We all celebrate, all confess, all shout for joy, in a million different ways. And, we are all Seventh-day Adventists.
And though we may look, pray, read, think, worship, sing, and share differently, we all look forward to the Sabbath. We all look forward to the future, when Jesus will come again. It’s in our very name, this anticipation of the seventh-day Sabbath, and this longing for another Advent. Our history and future as a movement is rooted in this awareness of time, and the prophetic importance of our message in these final hours of earth’s history. We are a diverse people, looking backward and forward, called to share with everyone that the world is on the verge of beauty.
No matter where we are, what our organizations look like, how we live out our beliefs, and how we keep the Sabbath, we are all longing for that last day when we can finally be present with our God.
