Pasadena Seventh-day Adventist Church — Attraction in Pasadena

Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5): The Pasadena SDA Church is a traditional service that fits well for older church members. If you're looking for a friendly congregation with worship & praise through hymns, this is the church for you!

Welcomeness: I was greeted at the door by a greeter with a warm welcome and kind smile.

Environment/ The Building: The church has a traditional feel with a Spanish-colonial accent. Arches ran down the side of the sanctuary and chandelier lights hung from the high ceiling. It was well-lit with natural lighting streaming through the stain glass windows. The seating consisted of traditional cushioned pews that were 25% filled the congregation. It had a good sound system with a screen thatprojected words and visuals.

Atmosphere in church / The Feel: Because it was only 25% filled, it felt slightly empty. However, the people gave it a warm feeling and it felt peaceful and comfortable with the natural lighting.

Time of Service: 10:45-12:15pm

Worship Music

category: hymns

instrumentation type: piano, 5 Vocalists

quality: good

crowd engagement: good

Sermon: Head pastor preached about conversion. His use of technology was great as he incorporated a slide show with pictures and quotes to help his sermon. He did a good job of using interesting and personal stories to emphasize his points. It was great to see props during his sermon as well!

duration: 11:20-12:15

Service: It was a traditional Seventh-day Adventist service that was peaceful, subdued, and at times slow. Children's Story, Lamb's offering, and Tithes & Offering Appeal was in between the Worship and the Sermon which seemed to disrupt the service flow of worship into the special music and message part of the service.

Returned to this, my home church, after a long absence. As always, it is welcoming and a wonderful place to come home to. Most especially hearing the Bible teachings again and the heartfelt prayers, loving songs to God, words from our Pastors, elders, teachers. And yesterday, a new beginning indeed, celebrated with Communion and the humbling washing of the feet, as Lord Jesus expressed to us. A very wonderful Sabbath. Thank...
