FAQs

about our affiliation

Dulin’s Grove Church is affiliated with the Advent Christian denomination and the Advent Christian General Conference (ACGC).

No, many people confuse Advent Christian with Seventh Day Adventist. Both these denominations came from the “Adventist” movement, but their beliefs are different.

Advent Christian is actually very similar to other mainstream denominations. However, there are two main differences in beliefs:

1) We believe that humans were created for immortality, but lost that right through sin. Everlasting life is only available through Christ.  

2) We believe that death is an unconscious condition that will remain until the resurrection at Christ’s return. At that time, believers will receive everlasting life while unbelievers receive everlasting destruction – complete extinction.

Yes! There are 200+ Advent Christian churches in North America and 600+ Advent Christian ministries around the world.
