Grounded in Scripture. Centered on Christ. Anchored in Hope.

Anchors of Faith is guided by the Bible and develops its content in harmony with the beliefs and teachings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

THE BIBLE IS OUR FOUNDATION

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the trustworthy foundation for Christian faith and practice. Scripture reveals who God is, what He has done through Jesus Christ, how He calls us to live, and the hope He offers for the future.

We encourage every visitor to study the Bible personally, prayerfully, thoughtfully, and in context.

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

Psalm 119:105, KJV

Read the Full Beliefs

One God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is eternal, loving, just, merciful, holy, and worthy of worship.
Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God who lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and rose again. Salvation is a gift of grace received through faith, not earned through human effort.
The Holy Spirit guides, teaches, comforts, transforms, and empowers believers for Christian living and service.
Jesus Christ continues His ministry on behalf of humanity in the heavenly sanctuary, giving believers confidence in the mercy and saving work of God.
God created heaven and earth and made humanity in His image. Sin entered through rebellion, but Jesus has secured victory and God will bring sin and suffering to an end.
Growth takes place through prayer, Bible study, worship, fellowship, and the Holy Spirit. The church is a community called to worship, support one another, and share the gospel.
The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts for ministry and service. Adventists recognize the prophetic ministry of Ellen G. White, whose writings guide but do not replace the Bible.
God’s law reflects His character of love. The seventh-day Sabbath, from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, is a gift of rest, worship, and renewed connection with God.
God cares about the whole person. Christians are called to care responsibly for their bodies, minds, and resources as a response of love and gratitude, not a way to earn salvation.
Death is an unconscious state of rest until the resurrection. At the return of Jesus, those who have died in Christ will be raised to life.
Jesus Christ will return personally, visibly, and gloriously — the blessed hope of the church, bringing an end to sin, suffering, and death.
God will create a new heaven and new earth where the redeemed will live in His presence, free from suffering, grief, violence, and death.

Faith That Shapes Everyday Life

Biblical beliefs are meant to influence the way we:

  • Understand God
  • View ourselves and others
  • Respond to suffering
  • Make decisions
  • Care for our bodies and minds
  • Build relationships
  • Serve our communities
  • Live with hope

Truth becomes most meaningful when it leads to trust, obedience, compassion, service, and a deeper relationship with God.

Truth Shared with Grace

We recognize that visitors may come from different Christian traditions, religious backgrounds, or personal experiences. We present our beliefs clearly while treating every person with dignity and respect.

We invite visitors to compare what they read with Scripture, pray for wisdom, and continue studying thoughtfully.
