ABOUT

OUR MISSION

The mission of all of us at The Arroyo Grande SDA Church is to become disciples of Jesus, intimately in love with God; and expressing His love in creative service, witness and fellowship.

OUR VISION

As we grow in relationship with God and others we strive to express Gods love creatively in all we do whether in worship together, in witness and service to our community, and in fellowship with one another. We strive to be a group of people unified by Christ and are committed to sharing the good news of Gods love to people. 

OUR BELIEFS

The Arroyo Grande SDA is a Christian community that is part of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. We believe in Jesus Christ and his love for us as expressed in his life, death, and resurrected life. And, in that hope of a new life in Jesus and eternity with Him, we believe that together we can encourage one another and lift each other up daily as we grow into mature disciples of Jesus. As disciples, our desire is to creatively communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ to our community.
