On March 5, the Slavic Seventh-day Adventist Church celebrated its 20th anniversary with a special gathering.
Approximately 800 people attended the event, which included church members, friends, and guests. The program featured reflections on the church’s beginnings, stories of God’s guidance through challenges, and uplifting music, both solo and choral.
Organized in 2004 with 86 members, the church has grown into a vibrant congregation of 367 members, along with 110 children and 70 youth. Committed to evangelism and community service, the church has implemented ministries such as Pathfinders, Adventurers, youth Bible studies, choirs, and a growing media ministry. In 2017, the church also planted the Ukrainian Seventh-day Adventist Church in Sacramento, which is now home to about 200 members.
Several longtime members shared personal memories, adding depth and meaning to the occasion. Church leaders expressed gratitude to God for His faithfulness over the years and acknowledged the dedication of the church family. The event served as a reminder of the incredible things that can be accomplished when a community remains committed to its mission and to one another.
