About Seventh-day Adventists
The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a mainstream Protestant church nearing 21.5 million members worldwide (2019 stats), including more than 1.257 million+ members in North America. The Seventh-day Adventist Church seeks to enhance quality of life for people everywhere and to let people know that Jesus is coming again soon.
Adventists believe a Trinity of three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—make up one God. They made salvation possible when Jesus, the Son, came to earth as a baby in Bethlehem and lived a sinless life in accordance with the Father’s will. When Jesus was crucified for the sins of the people of the world and arose from the dead on the third day, victory was won for everyone.
When He returned to heaven following the resurrection, Jesus left the Holy Spirit to serve as our Comforter and Counselor. He promised to return to earth a second time to complete His plan of salvation and take His people to heaven. Adventists are among the believers who look forward to that day.
Adventists believe that God is concerned with the quality of human life, and that everything—the way we live, eat, speak, think, treat each other, and care for the world around us—is part of His plan. Our families, our children, our jobs, our talents, our money, and our time are all important to Him.

About Our Pastor
Graduated from Canadian University College in 2008 with a BA in Business and in 2017 with a BA in Theology Studies, followed by a Master of Pastoral Ministry in 2022 from Andrews University. He enjoys giving Bible Studies. Pastor Miguel’s inspiration comes from reading the Word of God, and books such as the Conflict of the Ages series by Ellen G. White, playing tennis, cooking, teaching Spanish, and reading the words of Revelation 14: 6-12: The Three Angels Messages. As Pastor Miguel and his wife, Anna Maria, seek to build community in the Comox Valley, he is looking forward to visiting with people, sharing encouraging thoughts from Scripture, and expanding the friendships of the Comox Valley church.
