BIBLICALLY-BASED,

FAMILY-ORIENTED

Our Conference

The Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement Virginia Conference is part of a Christ-centered, diverse, worldwide religious community dedicated to serving God, sharing the Gospel, and helping others.

 

We are committed to promoting the biblical message of quality of life for the present and the future. In keeping with that principle, we believe the Bible teaches the importance of a weekly seventh-day Sabbath of rest, worship, and the promise of Christ’s second coming.

We are part of the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement Church, a worldwide organization. As an international family, our members can walk into any of our churches or groups and know they're home. 

 

The Virginia Conference is comprised of multiple churches and groups located within Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Click here to find a location near you!

We strive daily to develop a closer relationship with Jesus Christ to become more like Him. The heart of the church’s mission is to help others realize the hope found in experiencing a personal relationship with a living God and loving Saviour, and nurturing them in preparation for His soon return.
