I'm new.
- You're new? -
Come in! First, let us introduce ourselves. We are a friendly group who come from a variety of countries, backgrounds, and stages of life. But this we have in common, that we love our God with all of our hearts, and because of this, we love our neighbors too.
You may have noticed when you came in that you were greeted by a welcoming committee made up of an elder, deacons, deaconesses, and members of our church. They will direct you to Sabbath School classes, to the Sanctuary; ask them questions, they are here to help you.
Bible Study
Next, you will see that we love the Bible, God’s word. The Bible is the basis for our existence as a Seventh-day Adventist church. It is our guide in life. To assist in learning about the Bible we have Sabbath Worship and a selection of weekly Bible studies. We invite you to choose one that is convenient to your schedule: Monday night, Wednesday night, Friday night, Saturday morning.
A Few of Our Activities
And then there are things we like to do. Just to mention a few of our ongoing activities: our church choir; the Singing Ministry at Commonwealth Senior Living; contributing to the needs of Ashland Christian Emergency Services (ACES); serving dinner at The Doorways; a partnership with Food Donation Connection, Chick Fil A and local shelters…these are ways we serve our community on a weekly or monthly basis.
There's More!
There are more activities that pop up throughout the year that are part of our ministry to our community.
Our doors are open as a polling place for Hanover County on appointed voting days.
We support medical mission trips by some of our members to the Philippines. Thanksgiving gives us opportunity to provide our neighbors with Thanksgiving dinner items through ACES, and to serve Thanksgiving breakfast to those who are alone on this holiday. At Christmas we purchase gifts for the Virginia Home for Boys and Girls. Just as our members are spread throughout Richmond, Rockville and beyond, our neighbors are too. Every month we provide an opportunity to show love to our neighbors that is open to every member and visitor – this includes you. The church newsletter will keep you informed of this and so much more.
Now that we have shown you around, we hope you feel a part of the family at the Far West End Seventh-day Adventist Church! If you would like to learn more about Seventh-day Adventists, please visit Adventist.org.
