Raised christian but, even as a child felt a nagging separation from the church and eventually stopped attending when I had the choice. Was introduced to this church 2024 but, being preoccupied with work, never did a deep dive. Was let go from that job the last week of March 2025 and found great joy, conviction and revelation in making my way through the New Member Bible Study playlist + videos on the topic of the Sabbath (rules and purpose). Connected to local Members through this site and May 2025 have had regular Sabbath convocations. Through the instruction of the church, I’ve been able to read the Bible in earnest for the first time. Finding precepts and joy through the understanding of the word. Attended first church event CA Dedication 2025 and got to meet Prophet and Sister Katryna. February 2025, I have been doing Bible Study over the phone with a friend (catholic background) making our way through Matthew.
