We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is our guide for living a fulfilling lifestyle. Seventh-day Adventists choose to worship God because we believe He is our Creator who deserves praise and honour. Exodus 20:11 says " in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. We believe that Saturday is a special d
ay set aside for humanity, since the beginning of the world, to spend time worshipping and honouring God. We can worship God in many different ways. It can be through Bible study, prayer and singing praises to Him. We can do this at a personal level or meet together with fellow believers. We invite you to join us on Saturday morning to praise God and to learn more about Him. You are welcome to sit anywhere during the worship program - there are no set seats - and we don't have a 'dress code' either. If you're comfortable, we're happy! We have two worship programs each Saturday. A small group Bible study which we call Sabbath School and the Main Service where everyone meets together. In both our services we sing, pray to God and collect an offering. However, we emphasise that there is no obligation for you to give an offering if you don't want to. The program is our gift to God and to you - we don't expect anything in return. Small Group Bible Study
Sabbath school starts at 9.30am. It's a time where we can discuss the teachings of the Bible and socialise with each other. Outlined below is a typical Sabbath school program for the adults
•Song service
•Welcome
•Prayer
•Special Item - this can be a musical item or even a drama performance on an aspect or story in the Bible
•Mission Story - Every three months, the Seventh-day Adventist church focuses on a certain region of the world and on how church members can help people in that region. The needs and stories of these people are told.
•Offering - Adventists collect an offering in Sabbath school to support the mission project.
•Lesson Study - At this point everyone breaks into small groups to study the Bible. You can choose which group you want to attend. The duration of the lesson study is about 30 minutes. During this time, Adventists study the Bible using the Sabbath school lesson as a guide. The Sabbath school lesson is a Bible-study guide produced every three months by the worldwide church's Sabbath School Department. People are encouraged to study the lesson throughout the week and, during Sabbath school, discuss what it is teaching and have the opportunity to share how it has made an impact on them.
