WHO WE ARE

Seventh-day Adventists are people of hope who are committed to promoting the biblical message of quality of life for the present and the future. In keeping with that principle, Seventh-day Adventists believe the Bible teaches a weekly seventh-day Sabbath day of rest and worship and the promise of Christ's second coming or "Advent." Hence the name, Seventh-day Adventist.

The New Life Seventh-day Adventist Church was organized in 1999 to share with the community of Delta and its environs practical life skills through community programs and projects and to minister the love of Jesus through fellowship and worship.

Through planned programs and activities it is the one purpose of this community of believers to inspire and share and make a positive difference in the world and the community.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

The Seventh-day Adventist Church worldwide is organized into several different levels to aid in the administration of more than 12 million members. The world church is broken into 12 world divisions, which are in turn divided into regional "union conferences." These union conferences are further divided into local conferences which in turn are directly responsible for local churches within their area. Following this plan, the North American Division of the world church (encompassing Canada and the United States) contains 9 union conferences. The Canadian Union Conference is one of these and is responsible for seven local conferences in the Canada: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba-Saskatchewan, Maritime, Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador.
