We would love to have you. This is what to expect, where we are, and how to find your seat.

What to expect.

Dress. Most folks dress smart-casual to dressy for Sabbath. Whatever you are comfortable in is fine.

Format. Sabbath School is small-group Bible study. Worship is hymns, congregational prayer, and a sermon — usually 25–35 minutes.

Children. Kids welcome. Children stay with families during worship. Sabbath School has a separate kids class at 9:30 AM.

After service. Most Sabbaths there is a potluck upstairs after worship. You are invited — bring something or just show up.

Common questions.

I've never been to an Adventist service. Will I be lost?

Not at all. The order of worship is in our weekly bulletin (linked below) — hymn, prayer, scripture, sermon, closing hymn. You can follow along even on your first visit.

Do I have to be a member to attend?

No. Every service, every potluck, every Bible class is open to anyone. We'd rather have you visit a hundred times before you ever consider membership.

What if I can't make it Saturday morning?

The service streams live each Sabbath on YouTube — and we have weekday Zoom gatherings (Hour of Prayer 5 AM weekdays, Bible Class 4 PM Sabbath, Prayer Meeting 7 PM Wednesday). Find them on the home page under Connect.

Where do I park?

Street parking on White Plains Road and side streets. Sabbath morning is usually quiet enough to find a spot within a block.

How do I get involved?

Start by visiting. After a few Sabbaths, talk to Andre or one of the elders — they'll plug you in based on what you're drawn to (music, teaching, hospitality, prayer ministry).
