Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

Hello friends and guests! Christ has defeated death. Rejoice in his victorious resurrection for you!

This Morning is Communion Sabbath. The Communion Service is always a special Sabbath as we partake in the Lord Supper. This is a time to contemplate the immense love that God has for us, and rededicate our lives to Jesus.



Next Week the message is Looking Up. After Jesus resurrected out of the tomb, he spent 40 days with his disciples, and then, ascended to Heaven. For this Sabbath, the message will follow the accounts that led to Jesus's ascension and what that means to us today.

Our Abundant Giving project for April is Adventist Union School. AUS has a wonderful field and playground for the children. We are going to help raise money for bark for the playground. Our goal for the month is $2000. There are 5 weeks in April, so that's only $400 a week. If we can raise more than that, that would be awesome. To cover all the needed areas of the playground we would need to raise at least double that amount.
Let's help AUS keep the children safe on the playground.

Youth Baptismal Studies are starting during Sabbath School on April 9th. If  know a High School aged student who would like to join the studies, please see Bill.

April 16 the San Gabriel Academy Chorale will be with us. For this Sabbath, we will be blessed to have our worship service led out by the talented Choir group from SGA. It is always wonderful to have them come and inspire us with their beautiful voices and their youthful energy.

Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

Welcome to worship, Christian education and fellowship in the name of Jesus, the Savior of the world.

This Morning the message is Nothing Can Separate Us. This Sabbath, we study God's limitless love for us. Paul asks the question that with God interceding, who can separate us from the love of Christ (Romans 8:35). We understand that no matter how much we fall, God will never stop loving us.


Next Week the message is If You Love Him. For our final small group sermon, we will follow the verses of John 21:15-25. During the time that Peter was asked by Jesus if he loved him, Jesus revealed to Peter that the prove of his love for Jesus was shown by Peter's willingness to feed Christ's sheep. God's love for us was always meant to be shared.


After lunch on Celebration Sabbath we will be hosting the Outreach Olympics.  There will be opportunities for everyone to join in an outreach event. A group is going to the nursing home, the prayer booth will be up at church, some folks will be holding signs along the street, another group is passing out flyers inviting people to our Easter service and one group will be writing some cards in the fellowship hall. So regardless of your abilities to walk or stand, there is an opportunity for you to help out. Make plans to join us!


Celebration Sabbath is coming. Sign up in foyer to bring some yummy Mexican food to share in foyer. After lunch, we'll have different opportunities to reach the community. Plan on staying on March 19.

Sign up for Flowers! There are some dates left for flowers. You can help the church look beautiful during worship. Sign ups are in the foyer.


Downey's Got Talent and Dinner was a great time. We made $730 for the church beautification fund. Thank you to everyone who came out a supported the program. Also a big thanks to Maggie and Evelyn who organized and cooked for the evening.

March 19th is Celebration Sabbath. This worship service will be an uplifting testimonial time. Each of our small groups will share how the study of God's unconditional love had impacted them. Our church always looks forward to these Sabbaths which also includes a fellowship luncheon afterwards.
