Social awareness is a major pillar of Adventism. Walking in the foot steps of Jesus, we want to take care of those around us, in the local and global community. Adventism is a very active community of faith that challenges all of its members to be involved on some level to fight for equality, justice, and Aide. We want to be the kind of church that is frightened to death because we are walking on water, not just comfortable and safe inside the boat.
