Preamble
We, the members of the Meadowvale Seventh-day Adventist Church recognize the unique role to which Christ has called us, and the urgency of the message of salvation and judgment delivered to us.
Our Mission
To Evangelize
To attractively present, the saving love of Christ to all within our missionary territory, and to others who come to our church. We achieve this by declaring the good news of Christ through witnessing, preaching, and a lifestyle which is consistent with the gospel. The purpose of our evangelism is to bring others to Christ.
To Nurture
To bond together the members and friends within our church family, into one body - the body of Christ. We strive to develop bridges of Christian love which will span the many gaps which separate individuals and groups. We demonstrate this commitment by encouraging and affirming one another in our walk with the Lord
Our Method
We accomplish our mission through solidarity, service and sacrifice.
- In solidarity, we stand as one body empowered by the Holy Spirit, recognizing the equality of human beings regardless of age, gender, race or national origin.
- In service, we dedicate our resources of time, talent, treasure and (body) temple to the advancement of Christ's kingdom.
- In sacrifice, we give unselfishly, to win others to Christ and to prepare them and ourselves for His return.
We will strive to make all the activities of our church consistent with our mission statement, through our worship services, our social events, and our outreach services.
