About Us
The Seventh-day Adventist Church in Scotland is a small yet vibrant community of nearly 850 believers who are passionate about loving God and loving people. Our strategic focus for 2024-2026, "Gratefully Received, Abundantly Shared," is anchored in three core principles: community, diversity, and love.
Community: We are dedicated to building strong, supportive connections both within our church and in our local communities. We believe in the power of unity and strive to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels they belong.
Diversity: We celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures, backgrounds, and experiences within our church. Embracing diversity strengthens our faith and helps us grow as a community, reflecting the inclusive love of Christ.
Love: Above all, we are guided by love—love for God and love for one another. This principle drives our actions, motivates our service, and inspires us to share God's grace with everyone we encounter.
