About Us

Learn about our history, mission, and the community that makes Quezon Central Church special.

Our Story

Quezon City Central Church of Free Seventh-Day Adventists was built and dedicated on January 1, 2016, as a testimony to God's faithfulness and a beacon for spreading the everlasting gospel. Founded with a passion to restore God's image in humanity and lead souls to His eternal kingdom, our church stands as a sacred space for worship, growth, and service.

This church exists today through the miraculous providence of God and the generous, heartfelt contributions of believers moved by Christ’s love. Every brick and beam reflects a story of faith, prayer, and divine intervention.

As it is written: "For with God nothing shall be impossible." — Luke 1:37

Our Mission

At Quezon Central Church, our mission is to honor God by sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and helping others grow in the faith of Jesus. We are committed to living and teaching the principles of the Ten Commandments, the Sanctuary message, and the Three Angels' Messages. Guided by the writings of Ellen G. White through the Spirit of Prophecy, we strive to lead lives filled with compassion, worship, service, and love—helping people know God more deeply and walk faithfully in His truth.

Our Vision

We envision a Christ-centered, Spirit-led community that reflects God’s love and prepares hearts for Jesus’ soon return. Rooted in the Bible and strengthened by the message of prophecy, we aim to live out and share the truths of God’s Word—shaping lives, families, and communities through the light of the Gospel, the Ten Commandments, the Sanctuary doctrine, and the hope found in the Three Angels’ Messages. Our goal is to make a lasting impact for God’s Kingdom—here and beyond.

Our Core Values

These values guide everything we do as a church community

Love

We believe that love is the essence of God's character (1 John 4:8) and the principle that binds all commandments together. Inspired by Christ's self-sacrificing love and the Spirit of Prophecy, we seek to reflect God's love in our relationships, actions, and mission.
"The completeness of Christian character is attained when the impulse to help and bless others springs constantly from within." – Ellen G. White, The Acts of the Apostles, p. 551.

Service

Guided by Christ’s life and teachings, we are called to humble service (Mark 10:45). With compassion and grace, we minister to the needs of others, as taught in the Bible and encouraged in the Spirit of Prophecy.
“True greatness consists in being a servant—doing work for God, with pure, unselfish motives.” – Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 4, p. 613

Community

We value a faith-based community where believers support and strengthen one another. As one body in Christ (Romans 12:5), we grow together through shared worship, prayer, and the study of God's Word.
“The church is God’s appointed agency for the salvation of men. It was organized for service, and its mission is to carry the gospel to the world.” – Ellen G. White, The Acts of the Apostles, p. 9

Growth

We are committed to continuous spiritual growth, led by the Holy Spirit and the truth of Scripture. We believe in learning, applying, and living out God's plan while preparing for Christ’s return.
“Higher than the highest human thought can reach is God’s ideal for His children.” – Ellen G. White, Education, p. 18

Mission

Our mission is to proclaim the everlasting Gospel and the Three Angels’ Messages to every nation, tribe, and people (Revelation 14:6–12). Through personal witness and global outreach, we fulfill our prophetic calling.
“The last message of mercy is to be given to the world—the truth as it is in Jesus.” – Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 6, p. 19.

Prayer

We believe in the power of prayer as a lifeline to Heaven (Philippians 4:6). It is through daily communion with God that we receive strength, guidance, and peace for our lives and ministries.
“Prayer is the breath of the soul. It is the secret of spiritual power.” – Ellen G. White, Gospel Workers, p. 254

What We Believe

Our fundamental beliefs are rooted in Scripture and guide our faith and practice

The Godhead

We believe in one eternal God, revealed in three co-eternal Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three make up the heavenly Godhead—equal in divinity, purpose, character, and love—yet distinct in personality and function. They are united in their mission of creation, redemption, and restoration.
"There are three living persons of the heavenly trio... the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." (Evangelism, p. 615)

Scripture

We believe that the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, given through holy men of old who were moved by the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme and final authority for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness.
"The Holy Scriptures are to be accepted as an authoritative, infallible revelation of His will." (The Great Controversy, p. 7)

Salvation

We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ, whose atoning death provides forgiveness and reconciliation. True faith is always accompanied by repentance, obedience, and a transformed life through the power of the Holy Spirit.
"It is through faith in Christ’s sacrifice that sinners are justified and brought into harmony with God." (Faith and Works, p. 103)

"Obedience is the test of discipleship. It is the keeping of the commandments of God." (Steps to Christ, p. 61)

Second Coming

We believe in the literal, personal, and visible return of Jesus Christ. His second coming will be the blessed hope of the church, the final deliverance of His people, and the establishment of His everlasting kingdom.
"The second coming of the Son of man is to be the wonderful theme kept before the people." (Fundamentals of Christian Education, p. 336)
