Welcome Home
We are a Christian church that worships on Saturday, the Bible Sabbath. Jesus, who taught the people of His day how to keep the Sabbath, is our central focus. Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible as their only creed and guide on how to live. We believe God loves and cares for each one. Thankfully He is patient and gentile with us—just like Jesus. You will feel welcomed and valued when you come to visit us.
At the Porterville Adventist Church, you’ll find opportunities to worship, learn, and serve alongside others who are on the same journey of faith as you.

Come Worship with Us
We are a Christian community that would love to have you join our church family. Come join us for Bible study, worship, and prayer every Saturday.
Whether you come in formal or casual attire, you are welcomed to be part of our church family. There’s no dress code.
We offer programs and gatherings for every stage of life—from infants to seniors—designed to help you know Christ more deeply and build meaningful relationships.

Ready to Start Your Spiritual Journey?
Hearing and meditating on the story of Jesus does something to us. It changes us. After all we tend to become like the persons we admire. As we study the ancient stories the Holy Spirit molds us to become more like Jesus. We can help you start or continue your journey with Jesus. Choose your own Bible study option today.

Why Sabbath?
Have you ever felt emotionally exhausted or psychologically overworked by drowning yourself in 24/7 living? We know what that feels like too. Which is why God gave you and me the gift of Sabbath. Its a beautiful reminder that it is okay to rest, because God has already completed the work.
Sabbath is the weekly invitation from God to be restored and released from anything that may be weighing you down. We believe you can worship God any day, but there is something unique and special about the 7th-day Sabbath, God’s gift to the world (Genesis 2:2-3).
“The 7th Day—Revelations from the Lost Pages of History”is a 5-part documentary video series that explores the history and significance of the seventh-day Sabbath.
