Our Beliefs

As a Seventh-day Adventist Church we share the historic doctrines of the major protestant churches, such as the eternal fatherhood of God our creator, the divine Sonship of Jesus Christ and the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit.

We affirm Christ’s death and resurrection and believe that salvation can only be obtained through the grace of God by faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Bible is God’s Word to humankind and that it contains all you need to know about God, salvation and practical ways to living an abundant life.

As our name implies (Adventists), we look forward to the return of Jesus, when the dead in Christ will rise to life and an eternal life of peace and happiness will continue. Unlike most other Christian denominations, we observe the seventh-day (Saturday) as the Sabbath, as stated in the fourth commandment.

In a nutshell, Papsda is Christ-centred, grace-oriented and we welcome people from all backgrounds, cultures, and status. Jesus Christ has offered salvation to all people. There are no exceptions.

“The church is the only organisation that exists for the benefit of its non-members.” ~ William Temple
