Seventh-day Adventists are Bible-believing Christians who base their faith, hope and future in Jesus Christ and his soon return. The church is a large and growing organization consisiting of thirteen (13) Divisions, which are composed of churches grouped into unions, conferences, fields, missions or regions. The Suriname Mission is a part of the Inter-American Division (IAD) with Head Quarters located in Miami, United States of America, but we report directly to the Caribbean Union Conference.
Additionally, the Adventist denomination promotes education at all levels, from elementary and high schools. In Suriname we offer both primary, secondary education.
Our Church Name
The name Seventh-day Adventist includes vital beliefs for us as a Church. 'Adventist' reflects our passionate conviction in the nearness of the soon return ('advent') of Jesus. 'Seventh-day' refers to the Biblical Sabbath which from Creation has always been the seventh day of the week, or Saturday.
Our Church Mission
The mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is to proclaim to all peoples the everlasting gospel in the context of the Three Angels' messages of Revelation 14:6-12, leading them to accept Jesus as their personal Savior and to unite with His church, and nurturing them in preparation for His soon return.
Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide holistic ministry to the inhabitants of Suriname, preparing them to be true disciples of Jesus, who continue daily to experience the "Joy of Salvation" and empowered by the Holy Spirit will gladly share that Good News with others.
