Our History
The Somerset Seventh-day Adventist church was born in the autumn of 1970 after Pastor Byron S. Spears conducted an evangelistic crusade at the Sandys Secondary School hall. At the end of that crusade, the Somerset Company was formed with twenty members.
For two weeks following the crusade, the company continued to meet at Sandys Secondary hall, but then moved to the Masonic Lodge on Somerset Road where they remained for the next eleven years.
The challenge for the Company of twenty, who had committed themselves to establishing, with the help of God, a church in Somerset, came in a seed thought taken from Selected Messages, Vol. II, p 381, 382 and presented by Elder Carl Currie, the then president of the Bermuda Mission. “Every soul united to Christ will be a living missionary to all around him. He will labour for those near and those afar off.”
Mindful of their mission, Brothers Maxwell Thompson and Cockburn Rayner began, between 1973 and 1974, to search for property in the Somerset area to erect a church home. In 1974, with the arrival of the newly assigned pastor, Pastor Carlyle Simmons, and with the assistance of the President of Bermuda Mission, Pastor Robert H. Carter, the congregation was successful in acquiring property on Beacon Hill Road from the Fowle family, who were delighted to have their property used for the building of a church, and for the development of young people. Shortly after the purchase, a ground breaking ceremony was held, and thus commenced the construction of a church to the honour and glory of God.
In 1981, with a congregation of one hundred and forty-one devoted members, the Lord blessed the Somerset congregation to dedicate their church home without having to borrow funds from the banks. Today, the Somerset Church family continues “in the business of saving souls.” It has adopted as its mission statement “Reaching Out, Touching Lives.” From twenty committed members in 1970 to three hundred and sixty-four in 2009, the Somerset Church is a “Beacon of light on Beacon Hill.”
About Seventh-day Adventists
Saliva and urine pH are windows that allow us generic levitra online to see inside ourselves.
Adventists believe a Trinity of three persons–the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit–make up one God. They made salvation possible when Jesus, the Son, came to earth as a baby in Bethlehem and lived a sinless life in accordance with the Father’s will. When Jesus was crucified for the sins of the people of the world and arose from the dead on the third day, victory was won for everyone.
When He returned to heaven following the resurrection, Jesus left the Holy Spirit to serve as our Comforter and Counselor. He promised to return to earth a second time to complete His plan of salvation and take His people to heaven. Adventists are among the believers who look forward to that day.
Adventists believe that God is concerned with the quality of human life, and that everything–the way we live, eat, speak, think, treat each other, and care for the world around us–is a part of His plan. Our families, our children, our jobs, our talents, our money, and our time are all important to Him.
