The Souderton Seventh-day Adventist Church was first established in Fairhill, Pennsylvania in 1909, moved to Sellersville in 1919, moved to a new building on Main Street in Telford in 1929, then moved to its current location in 1969. It carries on the great traditions of the Seventh-day Adventist founders, who recognized no creed except Scripture and looked for the literal soon coming of Christ to this earth. The name "Seventh-day Adventist" expresses two core beliefs of our church. We believe in the Bible's Seventh-day Sabbath as God's holy day of rest, which was established as a memorial of Creation and as an avenue for strengthening the creature/Creator relationship. And, we believe in the literal second "Advent" of Christ to this earth.
