Becoming Seventh Day Adventist

Okay, not really but I will be attending a Saturday service instead of a Sunday one in a couple of months.

Our church has plans to expand but it looks like the additional space at our location won't be ready for close to a year so we need to add an additional service now.

Currently we have 3 Sunday services, 9 am, 11 am, and 6 pm. In a couple of months our new schedule will be Saturday's 5 pm and 7 pm and Sunday's 9am & 11 am for a net gain of one service.

I hear stories of Saturday services being a great success some places and dismal failures in others. I think since our town has a large University, and thus a lot of young people, it will be a success. Time will tell.

For the first time in my life Sunday's will truly be a day of rest and time with the family!

I am thinking we might also attract some fringe adventists who are Spirit filled in beliefs so don't fit in the traditional Seventh Day Adventist church.

We go through the Bible book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse so you are probably right!

Re: Becoming Seventh Day Adventist

And hopefully some Apostolics will see the truth about "immortal soul".

Re: Becoming Seventh Day Adventist

Most Adventists would go to a Sabbath keeping church, not just a church that has additional Saturday services. The only Adventists who are dissatisfied with the SDA church enough to go somewhere else are those who are generally old-school Adventists who feel the SDA church is sliding into apostasy.

SDA religion is based on Ellen White's supposed prophecies, not just doing church on Saturday.

You will, however, probably get a lot of folks coming looking for something to do on Saturday, college students etc.

Re: Becoming Seventh Day Adventist

CC1 - has your church considered breaking up into smaller daughter works? Surely there are men within the congregation who would be qualified to begin daughter works/churches around the town, instead of trying to fit that many people into one building?

Our town is a relatively small one with a population of around 100,000 so there is not a geographical imperative to move to daughter works yet. We are pretty much no more than 20 minutes from anywhere in our town.

I am sure that once we fill up the additional space we will be adding later this year we very well may move to opening daughter works. We are developing men in the ministry who could take that mission on.

Re: Becoming Seventh Day Adventist

Saturday services seem to be all the rage here in Dallas. we dont do it because we dont need additional services yet. but if we got to the point where it was a necessity, i would advocate adding a Sunday service

Re: Becoming Seventh Day Adventist

When I Pastored a home Church we had meetings on Saturday night and Sunday morning. Other Churches used to do this too.
