Our Mission and Core Values
The British Columbia Ghanaian Seventh-day Adventist Church was founded by a group of passionate Ghanaians in British Columbia who sought to create a spiritual haven that reflects their cultural heritage and religious beliefs. At the heart of the church’s mission is a profound love for God, which underscores every aspect of its existence. This deep-rooted devotion to God is coupled with a genuine care for fellow human beings, creating a nurturing environment where faith and compassion flourish.
The church’s commitment to active discipleship is evident in its myriad of initiatives designed to engage and uplift both local and global communities. From weekly worship services that bring together diverse congregants to community outreach programs, the church fosters a sense of belonging and spiritual growth. Local initiatives often include food drives, health fairs, and educational workshops, all aimed at addressing the needs of the British Columbia community.
Globally, the British Columbia Ghanaian Seventh-day Adventist Church extends its reach through various mission trips and partnerships with international organizations. One notable example is the church’s involvement in building schools and providing medical supplies in underserved regions of Ghana. These efforts not only improve the quality of life for many but also strengthen the church’s global ties and reinforce its core values of love, care, and service.
Through these actions, the church exemplifies its mission to serve and uplift. Whether it’s a local food drive in British Columbia or a mission trip to Ghana, each initiative is a testament to the church’s unwavering dedication to its founding principles. By fostering a deep love for God, showing genuine care for others, and engaging in active discipleship, the British Columbia Ghanaian Seventh-day Adventist Church continues to make a meaningful impact both locally and globally.
