In so doing, they discovered that the rightful day of worship was the seventh-day Sabbath which was Saturday. An outgrowth of this study group was the founding of the Ethan Temple Seventh-day Adventist Church, which was organized in July 1923. The congregation first met in a two-story house on Home Avenue. In 1926, as the congregation grew, the church relocated to South Williams Street where it remained until larger quarters were needed, and the move was made to Oakridge Drive in 1963. We remained there until 2008 when we relocated to our present location at 4000 Shiloh Springs Road, Clayton, OH, with a membership of more than 700 people. For more than 90 years, this church has preached the Three Angels’ Messages in the Dayton community and given birth to two additional congregations –the New Life Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Hillcrest Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Dr. Joe I. Grider is our th 25 pastor. Our Mission and Vision Sermon Notes Speaker: Pastor Dr. J. I. Grider Scripture: Subject: __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ The mission of the Ethan Temple Seventh-day Adventist Church is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all the people in the Dayton, OH, area. In so doing we want our neighbors and friends to see us as a church that is looking forward to Christ’s coming, exemplifying His centeredness, His compassion, and carrying out His commission. In order to achieve our mission and vision, we must be a Spirit-filled group of people who has God as the focus of our existence through worship, Bible study, Christian fellowship, and outreach programs witnessing to others of Christ’s soon return. Our Wish If you do not have a church affiliation or if you are new to this area and are looking for a church home, we invite you to share in the fellowship and ministry of the Ethan Temple Seventhday Adventist Church. If you desire to declare your faith in Jesus Christ and accept His free gift of salvation or desire to join our church, you are invited to come forward during the sermon appeal. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ S E R M O N N O T E S
