Practicing Virtues Consistently
Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage. —Maya Angelou
Generosity Matters
The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. —Solomon
Happiness and Peace
God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing. —C. S. Lewis
Welcome, Yeshua International Seventh-day Adventist Church

Our name reflects our divine calling—to be a vibrant, multicultural fellowship that mirrors the unity and beauty of heaven.

Identity and Implementation of Our Mission
Our Identity
The Seventh-day Adventist Church sees itself as the remnant Church of end-time Bible prophecy. Members of the Church, individually and collectively, understand their special role as ambassadors of God’s kingdom and messengers of the soon return of Jesus Christ. Seventh-day Adventists have enlisted as co-workers with God in His mission of reclaiming the world from the power and presence of evil, as part of the Great Controversy between Christ and Satan.
Therefore, every aspect of a Church member’s life is influenced by the conviction that we live in the last days described in Bible prophecy, and the return of Jesus Christ is imminent. God calls Seventh-day Adventists to live in this world with.
