We Adventists are a quirky bunch, passionate about our beliefs and the unique aspects of our lifestyle. Let’s dive into what makes us Adventists tick (in a good way):
Healthful Living: We’ve cracked the code on making healthy food downright delicious. From tofu hot dogs to lentil burgers, we’ve mastered the art of turning nutritious choices into mouthwatering delights. Who needs greasy fast food when you can savor the goodness of a flawless haystack? Easy on that sour cream.
Education: Our schools may have some strict rules, but they’ve earned a solid reputation worldwide. We take pride in running one of the largest Christian educational systems globally, with over 1.8 million students enrolled. Quite an achievement, no?
Religious Freedom Advocacy: We’ve been fighting for religious freedom since the early days of our church. That’s why we proudly stand with the International Religious Liberty Association (IRLA) to defend this fundamental right worldwide. And when it comes to our Sabbath observance, we’re not afraid to stand up for what we believe in. Just try scheduling an overly-active church event during those sacred hours, and see what happens.
Family Values: Family is a cornerstone of our faith, and we hold strong to the importance of close-knit relationships. We may not claim the spotlight like the Kardashians, but we sure know how to bond over a good old-fashioned family game night. Forget reality TV drama—join us for a night of laughter and friendly competition.

Strong Sense of Community: We know how to have a good time and build a tight-knit community. Whether it’s camp meetings or church picnics, we create our own brand of fun, keeping it wholesome and family-friendly. We may not be the wildest party animals, but we sure know how to make memories that last.
Sabbath and Rest: Ah, the Sabbath, a cherished pillar of our Adventist faith. It’s not just a day to catch some shut-eye (although our Sabbath naps are legendary). The Sabbath holds a special place in our hearts as a time to recharge and find spiritual renewal. We gather to worship Jesus, loving the genuine camaraderie and uplifting messages. It’s a day to connect with nature, marveling at the wonders of creation and finding solace in its embrace. And let’s not forget the awesome Sabbath feasts! We come together for potluck extravaganzas, sharing delectable dishes that could make a food critic weak in the knees. The Sabbath is like a sacred reset button, allowing us to pause, reflect, and emerge with a renewed spirit.
