A friendly, relaxed atmosphere where you will be warmly greeted and most welcome.

10:00 AM — Bible groups & kids programs

We meet each Saturday (Sabbath) morning at 10am, when “Sabbath School” begins and we go straight into our small groups and kids programs.

For the kids, from newborns to teenagers and youth, this is a time when each age group has a fun, Bible-based program especially designed for them. At the same time there are young adult, parent and many adult Bible discussion and study groups. These groups pray, care and share with each other as well as discuss topics from the Bible that speak to modern-day life.

From 10:00 AM — Fellowship Café

Grab a free hot beverage from our coffee cart and enjoy a chat before the service. It’s a relaxed way to meet people, catch up with friends, or just settle in — everyone is welcome.

11:30 AM — Family worship service

This is the time the whole church is together to praise and worship God. We do this through singing and music led by a worship team, prayer, reading from scripture, a story time for the kids, an offering (you are free to choose whether you give or not), special music and drama, and an inspiring, relevant message from the Bible focused on Jesus. The service usually goes a little over an hour. Once a month this is followed by a vegetarian fellowship lunch.

What to expect

Questions arise: “Will they accept me? Will anyone talk to me? I know very little about the Bible — does that matter? I think God exists, but I have my doubts.” We get that.

At Morphett Vale Adventist Church, we are all on a journey, but are at different places. We try hard to create a come-as-you-are culture — a place where people are authentic and accepting. We welcome everyone, whatever their background or questions, and wherever they may find themselves on their journey. Morphett Vale Adventist Church is a safe place where you and your family can explore God and the Bible together with us.

We have found that having a relationship with Jesus and following him has greatly enhanced our lives, and we deeply believe that it will enhance yours as well. Hence, we create our services with you in mind.

What does a church service look like?

Where do I sit?

What do you offer for my kids?

We have age-appropriate children's programs from 10am where children are encouraged through discipleship to a lifelong faith in a loving community through worship, prayer, stories, and singing. Our worship is multi-generational, allowing our families to worship together as one.

Why do you go to church on Saturday?

Because Jesus did. He invites us to do likewise by making the Sabbath a special day in which we unplug from the pressures of the week and plug into things that really matter — our relationship with God and other people. He gave the Sabbath to us for our benefit (Mark 2:27).
