“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ…”

Ephesians 4:11-12

OUR PASTORS

Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible as the only source of our beliefs. We consider our movement to be the result of the Protestant conviction Sola Scriptura—the Bible as the only standard of faith and practice for Christians.

Currently, Adventists hold 28 fundamental beliefs that can be organized into six categories—the doctrines of God, man, salvation, the church, the Christian life and last day events. In each teaching, God is the architect, who in wisdom, grace and infinite love, is restoring a relationship with humanity that will last for eternity.

GOD

We believe that God Loves

God is love, power, and splendor—and God is a mystery. His ways are far beyond us, but He still reaches out to us. God is infinite yet intimate, three yet one, all-knowing yet all-forgiving.

HUMANITY

We believe that God Creates

From neurons to nebulae, DNA to distant galaxies, we are surrounded by wonder. Yet the beauty is broken.

SALVATION

We believe that God Redeems

Love. Harmony. Perfection. Once, all creation sang the same glorious song.

CHURCH

We believe that God Inhabits

Jesus left His followers with an epic mission: tell the world of His love and His promise to return. Also, they should love people the way He loved them.

LIVING

We believe that God Transforms

God’s law in the Ten Commandments show us how to live and make clear our need for Jesus. Though the law shows us the path to follow and convicts us of sin, it’s about far more than just toeing the line.

RESTORATION

We believe that God Triumphs

From the Garden of Eden to the Tower of Babel, the destruction of Sodom to the Exodus from Egypt, God has always investigated before taking action.

It all started when…

Our mission is to reveal the likeness of Christ’s character and to labor for the enlargement of His Kingdom through genuine Christian fellowship, heartfelt Biblical worship, meaningful small groups, compassionate community outreach, regular evangelistic meetings, and effective discipleship. The ultimate goal of all ministry is to encourage genuine conversion and spiritual growth in the lives of people.

The original plan was to sell the current facility, and invest those assets in building a new church at a new location. After many months of discussions and prayer, the plan became to keep the current facilities, while at the same time moving forward in cooperation with Amazing Facts in building a new church facility in Granite Bay, just north of Sacramento. Amazing Facts and Sacramento Central Church have enjoyed a wonderful working relationship for years and Central Church plans to continue this partnership by leasing part of the new Amazing Facts facilities in Granite Bay for its services and offices, etc. As the capitol of California is experiencing explosive growth, more of Central’s members are moving to outlaying suburbs such as Granite Bay and the surrounding areas. Moreover, the communities around Granite Bay are among the fastest-growing in California, thus providing excellent evangelistic opportunities and making Granite Bay an ideal choice for a new facility.

After several years of prayer and research, God lead to a beautiful piece of property in Granite Bay, situated on a hilltop complete with a small lake, trees, meadows, and a spectacular view of the Sacramento skyline which can never be obstructed by other area building projects. The new location is on Sierra College Blvd. and has easy access from Interstate 80 and Highway 50.

Due to many environmental issues one faces in California, the project (as of July 2010) is still approximately two years away from completion of phase one, at which point moving to the new multi-purpose facility will be conducted while momentum and resources will launch us into phase two, the construction of the main sanctuary.

Enter the Granite Bay Seventh-day Adventist Church plant!

In late 2007, in preparation for the establishment of a new church in Granite Bay, a group of dedicated members from Central Church became involved in a church plant mission holding services in a rented facility just down the hill from the new facility property. With God’s tremendous blessing and the prayerful, dedicated efforts of all involved, more than two hundred people already attend weekly services and related ministry activities in the Granite Bay, Folsom and Loomis suburbs. Our services continue to grow each month as we faithfully prepare the harvest ground for the gospel work ahead. Upon completion of the new church facility “up the hill”, the established church plant fellowship will move into the new facilities.

Please remember to keep both Sacramento Central and Granite Bay churches in your prayers as we continue to move forward with this exciting church plant and church facility process.
