Sola Scriptura

The 28 Fundamental Beliefs

Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible as their only creed. These 28 statements are how we understand what Scripture teaches — grouped here into six themes.

10 Days of Prayer — January 6 to 16, 2027

Every January · Worldwide

10 Days of Prayer

Ten days. One church. Praying together.

Each January, Seventh-day Adventist congregations across the world set aside ten days to pray together — for revival, for their families, for their communities, and for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. A new theme is chosen every year, with daily readings and prompts in dozens of languages. You can join in from anywhere, on your own or with others.

Mission for All

“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.” Mark 1:15

In September 2027 the Seventh-day Adventist Church will speak with one voice — congregations across the world proclaiming the hope of Jesus together, two thousand years after He was baptised in the Jordan and began His ministry. The year between is for preparation: praying for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, reading The Desire of Ages, studying Daniel and Revelation, and reaching people where they are — through friendship, Bible studies, small groups and the phones already in our hands.

Walk through the Sanctuary

“And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.” Exodus 25:8

The tabernacle Moses built, recreated to the measurements of Exodus. Enter through the gate, pass the altar and the laver, step into the golden light of the Holy Place, and see the veil torn open before the mercy seat.

God’s Backyard

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.” Psalm 19:1

Nine planets, 66 nebulae, stars, moons, clusters and galaxies — a guided tour outward from our own solar system to the furthest island universes, and the God whose hands made every one of them.
