Camp Meetings Coming Up! Walla Walla Camp Meeting, July 29 - Aug 1, 2015 509-525-0882 Wenatchee Camp Meeting, September 18-19, 2015 509-663-4032 Native American Camp Meeting, September 25-26, 2015 509-877-0960 New Positive Life Radio Translator in Coeur d'Alene This year is the 22nd anniversary of the Adventist contemporary Christian radio ministry - KEEH/104.9fm - in Spokane. Recently the station received a nationwide award for its “Truth Street” interview project. Staff researched the 52 top Biblically-searched topics on Bibleinfo.com, then took a mi-crophone to the downtown streets for several days, and asked passersby their opinions on spiritual topics, including: “What happens when you die?” “Is the devil a real being?” and “What do you know about the Sabbath?” Scriptural texts were then matched to the street topic and 60-second audio spots were produced. You can check out these audio spots - and use them at your church or school - by visiting: tinyurl.com/myct275. The contemporary Christian station is happy to announce that it also just turned on a brand new translator signal covering the Coeur d’Alene market. Check it out at 103.5fm!

We Believe . . .
1. That the Bible is the final authority for all belief and practice for the Christian (2 Timothy
3:16-17).
2. That there is one God revealed in three persons—God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16-17: Genesis 1:26).
3. That we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone (John 3:16, 1 John 5:12-13
& Ephesians 2:8-9).
4. That Christians who have been redeemed by Jesus will live in obedience to all of His com-
mandments (John 14:15).
5. That Jesus will come again very soon (John 14:1-3).
6. That the requirements of the Ten Commandments are still binding on all people today,
including the seventh-day Sabbath of the fourth commandment
(Matthew 5:17, Exodus 20:8-11).
7. That the judgment which will decide the eternal destiny of all people is
now taking place in heaven (Daniel 8:14, 9:25-27).
8. That when a person dies one does not go immediately to heaven or
hell, but rests in the grave as one who is asleep awaiting the resurrection
(Ecclesiastes 9:5-6, John 5:28-29, 11:11-14).
9. That after Jesus comes again, the people of God will judge the world with Jesus, following
which fire will fall from heaven to completely devour the wicked and purify the earth (1
Corinthians 6:2-3, Revelation 20:4-9, 2 Peter 3:10-13).
10. That God, as a loving Father, wants us to live healthful lives avoiding foods and sub-
stances He has declared unfit, and actively pursuing positive lifestyle habits (Leviticus
11, Proverbs 20:1, Daniel 1:8, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
11. That the followers of Jesus will live pure and honorable lives making sure their business,
recreation and relationships meet the Bible standard (Philippians 4:8).
12. That God gives spiritual gifts to His people for the purpose of ministry. Given by the
agency of the Holy Spirit gifts provide the abilities and ministries such as faith, healing,
prophecy, proclamation, teaching, administration, reconciliation, compassion, charity
and other gifts. (1 Corinthians 12; Rom. 12:4-8; 1 Peter 4:10, 11).
13. That the Seventh-day Adventist Church fills a special role in the world today to prepare
people for the 2nd coming of Jesus (Rev. 14:6-13).
14. That we will grow as we spend time with God in prayer, as we feed on His word and
share His love through witnessing.(2 Timothy 2:15; Ephesians 6:18; Galatians 5:22-25)
15. That the Bible teaches that all who have accepted Jesus as their Savior/Lord, and who
intend to obey all the teachings of the Bible should be baptized by immersion (John 3:5;
Mark 16:16 & Matthew 28:19-20).
