Every Saturday morning around the world, Seventh-day Adventists gather together in community to worship Jesus through music, prayer and Bible teachings.

The day starts with Sabbath School, usually at 9:30am. For children, there are songs, stories, crafts and fun activities. For the adults there are smaller groups where the Bible is read and discussed in a less formal setting than a typical church service. Here audience participation is welcomed. You can ask questions and learn more or you can just sit and listen to the discussion.

The main worship program usually runs from 11am to noon. Singing, prayer, children's stories and a sermon are almost guaranteed but depending on the week, you might be treated to special music, drama, or other creative expression. We value the multi-generational community that is our church family and so expect to see the youngest through to the oldest taking part in our worship services.

Church really is for everyone and we’d love you to join us!

Find us

The Invercargill Seventh-Day Adventist Church is located at 30 Doon Street, Invercargill. We are in the Invercargill city centre, only a stroll away from Queens Drive, Tay Street and Queens Park.

Alternative venue

Sometimes we worship or have events in the Southland Adventist Christian School hall at 21 Durham Street. This usually happens if it is a larger event or something special happening that day. The school hall is at the back of the property and there is a map to guide the way as you enter the school grounds. Check our social media updates to see if we are worshipping in the hall this coming Sabbath.

FAQ

When are worship services held?

Every Sabbath (Saturday) morning and occasionally at other times during the week. Services are mostly held at the church building but at times we worship elsewhere for special events.

Do I need a Bible?

No. You don’t have to bring anything—just yourself. If you would like a Bible, you can borrow one when you get here. You can also download a free Bible app to your smartphone.

Should I go if I don’t know anyone?

Our church is a place where all people are welcome, whether you’re younger or older, a lifelong Christian or a spiritual seeker. We would love to meet you! If you feel nervous, bring a friend or just send us a message beforehand and we will make sure there is a friendly face to greet you when you arrive.

Will I be asked to give money?

Every week we provide our regular attenders the opportunity to support a variety of causes. It’s not required or expected that you give a donation, especially if you’re visiting us for the first time.

Will I be asked to speak publicly or pray?

If you participate in a small group Bible study, you’ll probably be asked to introduce yourself. You maya also be given the opportunity to offer an opinion on what’s being discussed - but it is not a requirement. It’s not typical for a first-time guest to be singled out in the main worship service. Prayer is an important part of worship, and you are welcome to join in, but no one will ever force you to pray.

Who do I speak to if I have any questions?

We have a team of friendly greeters at our doors and in the foyer who will be happy to help you with any queries you may have.
