Gettysburg Seventh-day Adventist Church
Gettysburg PA

Did you know Adventists love the Bible? Yes, ALL of it! Our Sabbath School Bible Study includes Cradle Roll, Kindergarten, Primary, Earliteen, Youth, Young Adult, and Adult classes. Our classes begin Saturday mornings at 9:15 AM. Even our newborns enjoy and engage in a class, all their own.

All our classes, including our Cradleroll for infants through age 3, provide age appropriate music, in-depth Bible studies, and complete the entire Bible in 3-5 years,presenting all the major Bible stories from Genesis to Revelation! The Sabbath School Quarterlies, which contain daily study guides are freely provided to members and guests. Online quarterlies can also be viewed here for your convenience. Free Bibles are also available, if needed.

Our worship hour at 10:40 AM is much like many other Protestant and Christian denominations. We love our music and you will find that the hymns we sing are many of the same you may know and love. We delight in coming together on Saturday, God's never-changing Sabbath! We invite you to our weekly visitor meal after the worship hour and to our church-wide fellowship meals once a month. Take a break from the kitchen and join us!

Midweek on Wednesdays we have what we call Prayer Meeting. We come together for prayer and Bible study for one hour, beginning at 6:30 PM. Again, of course, all are welcome to our group!

The Gettysburg SDA's are involved in many local community outreach programs including, Soup Kitchen, Eden's Way Community Garden, Nursing Home visitations, Vegan and Vegetarian Cooking Schools, Health Fairs, Ruth's Harvest as well as international mission trips, ADRA (disaster relief) and evangelism.

We also have socials and other events throughout the year that are enjoyed by all age groups. We try to have something for everyone. Pre-teens and teens enjoy Pathfinders, a worldwide organization of young people sponsored by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Young people of any religious persuasion, or none at all, are welcome and encouraged to join. They participate in camping trips and survival skill training, leadership training, community involvement and hundreds of awards (honors), which are bestowed upon those that master skills in recreation, the arts, nature, conservation, vocations and outreach.

It would give us no greater joy if you would join us at our services and gatherings!

The Adventist Church has existed in the Gettysburg area since 1944. We outgrew our church on Hanover Street and are now in our relatively new, beautiful church sanctuary located at 1495 Biglerville Road in Gettysburg next to our school. The crown jewel of our church is our school, led by our principal, Dr. Rose Gamblin. Please learn more about our fabulous school HERE.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a mainstream Protestant church with approximately 19 million members worldwide, including more than one million members in North America. The Seventh-day Adventist Church seeks to enhance quality of life for people everywhere and to let people know that Jesus is coming again soon.

Adventists believe a Trinity of three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—make up one God. They made salvation possible when Jesus, the Son, came to earth as a baby in Bethlehem and lived a sinless life in accordance with the Father's will. When Jesus was crucified for the sins of the people of the world and arose from the dead on the third day, victory was won for everyone.

When He returned to heaven following the resurrection, Jesus left the Holy Spirit to serve as our Comforter and Counselor. He promised to return to earth a second time to complete His plan of salvation and take His people to heaven. Adventists are among the believers who look forward to that day.

Adventists believe that God is concerned with the quality of human life, and that everything—the way we live, eat, speak, think, treat each other, and care for the world around us—is part of His plan. Our families, our children, our jobs, our talents, our money, and our time are all important to Him.
