What the American Founders Really Believed

As America celebrates its historic 250th Independence Day this weekend, conversations about our nation’s roots are louder than ever. In recent years, a growing movement has sought to blur the lines between church and state, fuelled by the popular narrative that the Founding Fathers were orthodox Christians who intended to establish a legally Christian nation. As Seventh-day Adventists, our deep commitment to prophetic truth and religious liberty compels us to look past modern political myths and examine what history actually says. When we pull back the curtain and read the private letters of America’s architects, we discover a much more complex (and enlightening) truth about their personal faith.

Securing true religious freedom means understanding that the founders intentionally built a framework where faith could thrive freely, completely separate from civil government. We invite you to join us this Sabbath morning as we worship the Creator, study Bible prophecy, and celebrate the beautiful gift of liberty of conscience. Our services begin with Sabbath School at 9:30 a.m., followed by the Divine Service at 11:00 a.m. We would love to welcome you!

Is the Apocrypha Inspired? Testing the "Hidden" Books

Ever wonder why some Bibles include books like Tobit or Maccabees while others leave them out entirely? In this study, we look into the history of the Apocrypha—meaning "hidden" or "secret"—and test its teachings against the clear, unchanging gospel of Jesus Christ to see how we can better spot spiritual counterfeits by knowing the genuine Word of God. We love digging into these deep biblical truths together, and we invite you to join us this Sabbath at church as we study God’s Word together, fellowship as a community, and anchor our hearts in the true Gospel of Grace; we would love to welcome you!

Happy Father's Day

A Father’s Day Message: Honouring a Sacred Trust

Happy Father’s Day to the men who strive to guide, protect, and nurture the hearts entrusted to their care. Today, we honour you not merely for providing for your families, but for the quiet and enduring influence you have upon the lives of your children.

We recognize that fatherhood is a weighty calling. The demands of work, financial pressures, and the many responsibilities of life can easily consume a man's time and energy. Yet amid these competing claims, Scripture reminds fathers that their highest earthly work is not measured by wealth accumulated or position attained, but by the love, wisdom, and godly influence they bring into their homes.

As you read the following selections from the writings of Ellen G. White, we hope you find both encouragement and renewed purpose. The Lord calls fathers to something far greater than mere authority: to win the confidence of their children, to share in their joys and sorrows, to point them to the Creator through the wonders of His works, and to shape characters fitted for eternity. The "golden hours" spent understanding and guiding a child are among life's most precious investments, yielding a harvest that will endure long after earthly pursuits have faded away.

To our fathers: may you be strengthened in the knowledge that your influence matters deeply. The home needs your presence, your affection, your example, and your prayers. May God grant you grace to fulfill this sacred trust, and may your children rise up to call you blessed—not only in this life, but in the kingdom to come.
