About Seventh-day Adventists
The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a mainstream Protestant church with approximately 19 million members worldwide, including more than one million members in North America. The Seventh-day Adventist Church seeks to enhance quality of life for people everywhere and to let people know that Jesus is coming again soon.
Adventists believe a Trinity of three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—make up one God. They made salvation possible when Jesus, the Son, came to earth as a baby in Bethlehem and lived a sinless life in accordance with the Father’s will. When Jesus was crucified for the sins of the people of the world and arose from the dead on the third day, victory was won for everyone.
When He returned to heaven following the resurrection, Jesus left the Holy Spirit to serve as our Comforter and Counselor. He promised to return to earth a second time to complete His plan of salvation and take His people to heaven. Adventists are among the believers who look forward to that day.
Adventists believe that God is concerned with the quality of human life, and that everything—the way we live, eat, speak, think, treat each other, and care for the world around us—is part of His plan. Our families, our children, our jobs, our talents, our money, and our time are all important to Him.
Another vital belief of Seventh-day Adventists is the seventh-day Sabbath, first given at creation when God rested. He invites us to rest with Him each week. When the world was created, there were no Jews, just human beings. We understand from the book of Revelation that in the last days, the Sabbath will become a special seal or sign of our relationship with God. We do not keep the Sabbath in order to be saved, we rather keep it as a sign of our ongoing relationship with God. If you’d like to study this more, just let us know.
About the First Seventh-day Adventist Church of Tulsa
Our church family includes about 400 members from every age group and many ethnic backgrounds. In addition to church services in English, we have services in Spanish as well for the Hispanic congregation which meets at our church. The 100 year anniversary of the First Tulsa Adventist Church was celebrated in 2015.
We think of our church as being “large enough to serve, yet small enough to care.” Our members love to worship together, encourage and pray for each other, have fun together, and share God’s love with others as we serve the community.
