STATEMENT ABOUT THE CLOSING OF THE IF CHURCHES
On behalf of the Israel Field of Seventh-day Adventists, I would like to inform our members and the general public that for the safety reasons, the Seventh-day Adventist congregations will not have the face-to-face meetings on Sabbath, April 04, 2026.
The only exception are the following churches:
Ashdod
Jerusalem International
Jerusalem Romanian
Eilat
In consultation with the local church leadership, we came to the conclusion that bomb shelters
are accessible for the above-mentioned congregations and in a safety distance.
Also, we have the confirmation that the local leaders will take all necessary measures for the
safety of the people in attendance.
In addition, we are requesting that our members continue to be prudent in all things and avoid
all unnecessary travelling during the days of intense military activities.
Our local communities, under the leadership of pastors, will organize online meetings adapted to
the needs of members. Thank you for attending these gatherings and to pray, sing, and uplift the
glory of Godโs name during these challenging times.
On Thursday, April 9, Pastors will meet again to study the overall situation, in order to determine
what the best decision would be for the following Sabbat, April 11, in compliance with the
legislation and with the highest priority of taking care of children and members.
May our heavenly Father be our protection. We are praying for every person attending our
worship services. May the grace of God inspire us during the Sabbath, April 4, and transform our
hearts, so that we can continue our ministry with joy, hope, and peace.
