Saturday 12:00 PM
Welcome to Beltsville Seventh-day Adventist Church. We are so glad you’ve joined us for worship today.
Is there a pathway that we can effectively live out our faith as disciples of Christ? How can we gain a deeper understanding of what it means to follow Jesus? Join us this Sabbath as we continue with our message series Path Finders to discover and learn what Jesus taught His disciples on how to live out their faith in the first century and how it relates to us today.

Focus Text:
Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. Luke 9: 23-24 (NIV)
