About us

Every Saturday morning around the world, Seventh-day Adventists gather together in community to worship Jesus through music, prayer and Bible teachings.

At Bishopdale the day begins with Sabbath School, usually from 9:45am. For children, there are songs, stories, crafts and fun activities. For the adults there are smaller groups where the Bible is read and discussed in a less formal setting than a typical church service.

The church’s main worship program usually runs from 11am to noon. Singing, a children’s story, prayer, and a sermon are almost guaranteed but depending on the week, you might be treated to special music, drama, or other creative expression.

Bishopdale really is for everyone, and we’d love you to join us!

Whether you’re just curious, visiting from out of town, or looking for a spiritual home, you are welcome here.
