The Problem
Our beloved Fullerton Seventh-Day Church has over the
past few decades fallen prey to the deceiver.
We've suffered long under a fractured and disillusioned
leadership. Though various pastors have come and
gone, none have been able to completely rid the church
of the wolves who hold the body hostage by the same
affliction of the Pharisees during Christ's
time—self-righteousness. This sin has long
corrupted these self-empowered, once well intentioned
"saints" who have been given over to the delusion of
perceived ownership of God's church instead of a humble
stewardship of our wonderful campus entrusted to us.
The persistent attitude of this long standing
administration has transformed the "hospital for the
sick", into a "club" of conservatism and exclusivity
with which they're not afraid to hit anyone, unlike
themselves, over the head with. The facts are
obvious: an unhealthy, unproductive, dying
church, filled with sycophants in leadership positions.
This once thriving church can no longer support itself,
and our church body is kept blind to the condition that
afflicts it. We are desperately in need of a
Savior.

Hear what the
Holy Spirit says to the churches.
|
- Plenty of beautiful, unused
space
- Declining or steady number of baptism, attendance,
and giving
- Worship services are proper but "blah"
- Little excitement for outreach or mission to save
the lost
- Sins of the saints tolerated
- Few new and young families
- Church work is perceived as what takes place inside
the church building only
- Message is biblically-sound but does not connect
with the need of people, or needs-based ministry but without reference
to what the Bible says
- Prevailing sense of complacency
- Chronic shortage of leaders
Leaders and members function
out of a sense of duty, rather out of joy and vision
Witness and outreach effort are done mainly by the
pastors
Real decision-making is done in a small group of
older, better-known members
A high percentage of inactive members
Do any of these
describe the
Fullerton SDA Church?
This is a call for change.
Pray for our church!

The Fullerton SDA Church |
Praise be to God. He is in
control. This prophetic message given to me and those who love our
church, those who have children whom we desire will worship Christ and
attend this church in the future is to
be patient.
Change will come and the year 2015 will be a time
of very special and wonderful change.
Our Fullerton Seventh-day Adventist Church will
finally be renewed by the Spirit—It will soon be a refuge for those who
desire forgiveness. It will once again be filled with the Spiritually
hungry being fed with the Word and shine as a beacon of light to the
community.
Scripture will be the guide and not tradition.
The Fullerton SDA church will once again be transformed! Praise the
Lord. Praise the Creator of all. Praise His son Christ!
