About Us | Edmonds Adventist Church

GET TO KNOW US

Edmonds Adventist Church is a vibrant multi-generational, multi-cultural community of Christ followers full of love and grace for people of all walks of life. Come join us every week on Saturday at 10AM for Sabbath School (all ages) and 11AM for corporate worship. In addition to our weekly services we have a wide variety of opportunities to serve God and love our neighbors, from a free community food pantry to service clubs for children and youth. Our children's ministry offers an annual evening VBS and weekly Bible study classes for all ages.

Edmonds Adventist Church believes in breaking bread together by having regular fellowship outside of weekly worship services, including annual corn roasts and barbeques, annual soup communion, and many more social events. We believe God's commands to love Him and love our neighbors are the most important commandments. This love is what we want everyone to experience when they walk through our doors!

Some of our foundational beliefs

Edmonds Adventist Church is a Seventh-day Adventist community of faith. As such, we are committed to certain theological tenets which inform the way we live before God in the world. Principal among those tenets are the faith affirmations which follow.

We believe God, the eternal Creator, is revealed partially in nature, fully in the Bible, and most completely in His Son, Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus of Nazareth is the fully human, fully divine Son of God

We believe salvation is received by grace alone, through faith in Jesus Christ

We believe the Bible is the enduring, inspired Word of God which unfailingly shows us the way of salvation

We believe Christians are saved from the power of sin and death and through salvation are empowered worship God and perform acts of love to all humankind

We believe the seventh day of the week was set aside at creation as holy time and continues to be a time to focus on worship, communion with God, and service to each other

We believe God is the owner of all and He entrusts us to use His gifts of resources, time, and talents to serve Him through our giving, serving, and loving others

We believe history is moving toward the eternal kingdom of God, to be set up finally and fully at the time of the literal second coming of Jesus Christ
