Our Church History

What is now the Kansas Avenue Seventh-day Adventist Church, began in July 1934 as a branch Sabbath School in the home of Omar and Bertha Stratton on 11th Street in Riverside, California. Near the end of 1935, the group outgrew the Stratton’s living room. To house the rapid growth, they rented the Masonic Lodge Hall for $10.00 a month. Elder Prout, President of the Southeastern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, declared and organized the group of eighteen into a company. Brother Stratton was ordained as an Elder and led the company for several years.

Our Beliefs

The Holy Scriptures, Old and New Testaments, are the written Word of God, given by divine inspiration. The inspired authors spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. In this Word, God has committed to humanity the knowledge nec- essary for salvation. The Holy Scriptures are the supreme, authoritative, and the infallible revelation of His will. They are the standard of character, the test of experience, the de nitive revealer of doctrines, and the trustworthy record of God’s acts in history.
