Moscow International SDA Church
About us
Welcome to the Moscow International Seventh-day Adventist Church!
We're glad that you found our web site. We would love to welcome you as a regular visitor, whether in person or online.
Our worship service begins at 11:15 Sabbath mornings, and the church service starts at 12:15. We also have a Russian church service without English translation at 10 a.m.
During the summer months, some members of our church family return to their homes across the former Soviet Union and elsewhere, so we worship in a combined church service, in English and Russian, at 11:45. Sabbath school starts at 10:30.
Our worship services can be watched live here.
We are an international church because we were established in the early 1990s as a place where English-speaking foreigners could worship. Since then, our congregation has swelled to represent nationalities from more than 30 countries — all eagerly waiting to swap their passports for citizenship on the New Earth. So no matter where you are from, you are welcome to worship with us.
What else is the church? Here are a few facts:
- We are the fastest growing of the 27 Adventist congregations in Moscow and its suburbs, with membership increasing by 12 percent in 2010, 21 percent in 2009 and 15 percent in 2008.
- We are the only Adventist church in Moscow with more attendees than members. Membership now is 170 people, and the average Sabbath attendance tops 270.
- We have the most youthful congregation of any Adventist church in Moscow. Sixty-nine percent of attendees are under 35, while 91 percent are under 45.
Because of our fast growth, we are preparing to build a new sanctuary for 1,000 worshippers. You can read about this exciting project here.
We warmly invite you to join us this coming Sabbath and any Sabbath you can find the time to worship with us. If you are new in Moscow or searching for a church family, we would be delighted to welcome you.
