About Us
The Vision of the Forest Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church is to be a healthy church, where “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit is revealed through us.” (II Corinthians 13:14)
The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ…We envision a church where sinners experience Christ forgiveness and are given a second chance, and where the needs of the community are ministered to with compassion and love.
The Love of God…We envision a church of passionate evangelism where every member is involved in spreading the love of God through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Fellowship of the Holy Spirit…We envision a church that develops spiritual mature members through praying, socializing, and fellowshipping together. Mature members who then go and disciple others. (see Acts 2:44-47).
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.
