Seventh-Day Adventist's Fundamental Beliefs
12. The Church
The church is the community of believers who
confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. In continuity with
the people of God in Old Testament times, we are called out from
the world; and we join together for worship, for fellowship,
for instruction in the Word, for the celebration of the Lord's
Supper, for service to all mankind, and for the worldwide proclamation
of the gospel. The church derives its authority from Christ,
who is the incarnate Word, and from the Scriptures, which are
the written Word. The church is God's family; adopted by Him
as children, its members live on the basis of the new covenant.
The church is the body of Christ, a community of faith of which
Christ Himself is the Head. The church is the bride for whom
Christ died that He might sanctify and cleanse her. At His return
in triumph, He will present her to Himself a glorious church,
the faithful of all the ages, the purchase of His blood, not
having spot or wrinkle, but holy and without blemish.
