Mission Statement The mission of the Apostolic House of God 7th Day Assemblies is to proclaim to all peoples the everlasting gospel in the context of the three angels' messages of Revelation 14:6-12, leading them to accept Jesus as personal Savior and to unite with His church, and nurturing them in preparation for His soon return.

 Our Method - We pursue this mission under the guidance of the Holy Spirit through: 

Preaching: Accepting Christ's commission (Matthew 28:18-20), we proclaim to all the world the message of a loving God, most fully revealed in His Son's reconciling ministry and atoning death. Recognizing the Bible to be God's infallible Revelation of His will, we present its full message, including the second advent of Christ and the continuing authority of His Ten Commandment law with its reminder of the seventh-day Sabbath. 

Teaching: Acknowledging that development of mind and character is essential to God's redemptive plan, we promote the growth of a mature understanding of and relationship to God, His Word, and the created universe. 

Healing: Affirming the biblical emphasis on the well-being of the whole person, we make the preservation of health and the healing of the sick a priority and, through our ministry to the poor and oppressed, cooperate with the Creator in His compassionate work of restoration.

 Our Vision - In harmony with the great prophecies of the Scriptures, we see as the climax of God's plan the restoration of all His creation to full harmony with His perfect will and righteousness.

The first home church started in the very first home when God met with Adam and Eve in their Eden home in the cool of the evening. They met together, and our first parents enjoyed fellowship and instruction from the Creator. The apostolic church first assembled in the upper room. In fact, the Greek word that is translated as 'church' in the Scriptures simply means assembly or gathering. It doesn't even imply a building. An assembly or gathering can happen anywhere.

During the time of the apostles, there were no established Christian buildings for worship gatherings. In Acts 16, we find the apostle Paul and others gathered for worship by the river. Many of the brethren located in different parts of the world were few in number, and it was convenient for them to open their homes to the brethren for the worship of God.

“The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.” (1 Corinthians 16:19)

“Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the which is in his house.” (Colossians 4:15)

“And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in thy house:” (Philemon 1:2)

What is the real purpose of the church? Is it just a social place we go to, or is it about something else altogether? What makes it meaningful?

The presence of God - that is what church is meant to be about. The absence of the divine presence makes the church a meaningless human ritual, no matter how grand the building is or how large the crowd.

God must be worshipped in accordance with His guidelines. He is not fooled by sinful heart attitudes veiled by sanctimonious exteriors. We may view with some pity those who think they can move their god around at will. But why do we think that God is obliged to come to us on our terms? Can humans really ignore Scripture and expect to find nourishment for the soul? Amos 5:21-24. It is time to seek God with all our hearts, to pray on our knees and search His word without reference to human tradition. The journey may be lonely, but don’t be discouraged. God has promised that our searching will not be futile. “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13

  The Holy Days Reveal God’s Incredible Plan for Mankind

While these days were kept by ancient Israel and the Jews, for millennia their meaning was not fully revealed until Jesus Christ Himself preached on these days and the Holy Spirit was given to those in His Church on the Day of Pentecost in 31 AD. Here is a very brief overview of the meaning of each of these Festivals and some associated passages, of which Jesus Christ is the focal point.

Together, they illustrate, in order, the steps in God’s plan of salvation for humanity.

Passover points to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins (1 Corinthians 11:23-34; Luke 22:14-23).

The Days of Unleavened Bread signify the removal of sin and pride from our lives, and the adoption of the obedience and mind of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 5:6, 8; John 6:4, 31–58).

The Day of Pentecost points to the giving of the Holy Spirit to the Church of God (Acts 2). The Feast of Trumpets points to the Day of the Lord described in the book of Revelation—the year preceding the return of Jesus Christ, during which the seventh seal will be opened, and the seven trumpets of God will be blown (Revelation 6:17; 8:1–13; 9:1–21; 11:15; Isaiah 34:8; 63:4).

The Day of Atonement points to the day when Satan, the devil, will be imprisoned for 1,000 years and no longer able to influence mankind (Leviticus 16:6–10, 21–26; Revelation 20:1–3).

The Feast of Tabernacles pictures the 1,000-year reign of Jesus Christ and His saints on planet Earth (Revelation 20:4–6; Zechariah 14:16–21; Isaiah 11:1–16).

The Last Great Day pictures the Great White Throne Judgment that will occur after the Millennium, when all of those who have ever lived and died without knowing the truth will be given their first genuine opportunity to know Him and practice His way of life (John 7:37–39; Revelation 20:11–13; Matthew 11:21–24; 12:41–42).  

Guidelines for Home-Churching Order and Structure are Necessary

God is a God of order. This is so clearly seen in the sanctuary services. Everything had its place and order. Every event in the services had its specified time, and everyone had their specified job description. It is amazing to see the detailed instructions that God gave to his servant Moses regarding his sanctuary and its services. God must have cared for details; one can also plainly see it in his creation.

Speaking of Aaron and his line regarding his job upon an appointed time, the Lord says, “Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant” (Leviticus 24:8). The levites had a solemn job, they were not to go about it in a careless, disorderly manner.

All that they did reflected upon the God they served. In the same manner, today, when we come together for a solemn convocation, for a worship service, we must remember that we are serving a God of order. The apostle Paul exhorts all who claim to be God’s people, “Let all things be done decently and in order (1 Corinthians 14:40).”

Below are some guidelines fitted for a small group desiring to worship God in the spirit and in the truth, which have proved to be helpful to many home-churching families and friends.

Set an appointed time for your worship service

When worshiping at home, it is easy to become distracted by the familiarity of our surroundings. Therefore, it is important to have a set time that will mark the beginning of your worship service, and/or of the different phases of your which you and your group will regularly keep.

Plan for the spiritual meals

It is helpful to have a plan made for each Sabbath ahead of time. In this plan, the speaker is assigned, also the one who will be giving the children’s story, and the special music, if there is any. The more thought and care given to the service, the richer the experience.

Be thoughtful of your speech

During worship services, be very thoughtful that common speech, which would drive away the holy angels present or grieve God’s spirit, does not find a place among the sacred time consecrated to heavenly things.

Meeting the needs of all

It is important to try to meet the needs of all ages. Allow time for a children’s story in the service, where they can hear simple lessons of true Christianity. Some churches take a short walk through nature between the Sabbath school and the Divine portion of the service. This is helpful for the young, but also for all ages, including the old.

Remember the purpose of a church

Every true Christian has a deep love for truth and has an overwhelming desire to share the truth with others. Remember that the purpose for the Church is to be a light in darkness, to be a witness of the truth. Look for opportunities to share with your neighbors and community. Plan home missionary endeavors with your home church.

Organization is paramount as the church grows

As a small group, the need to hire a pastor or other workers is not necessary or monetarily possible. But, there should still be an elder recognized among the believers, and the need for organization should not be neglected in the future or in circumstances that call for it. We must never forget that organization is an effective tool by which the gospel is spread to the world. An organization, therefore, is not the church itself, but the order and methods it uses to accomplish its purposes.

Have a box for tithes and offerings

The Lord is the owner of all things. Tithes and offerings are reminders that we are simply stewards of all that we have and that the Lord has required these of us for the purpose of supporting his workers and work. “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” (Malachi 3:10)

TITHE AND OFFERINGS

Open your heart so the river of God’s care may overflow in abundance through you, using you to His glory, for the benefit of your neighbor, for the advancement of the Truth, till all the Earth shines with His kind, generous character. ‘For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.’ ‘For God loveth a cheerful giver.’ Your donations will make an enormous difference in making our community a better place by providing for the needs of others and helping them see and get to know the eternal life the Lord has given them.
