About Us
We are Markham Woods Church of Seventh-day Adventists, a community focused church organization that wants to help you get closer to Christ and live a life worth living.
What We Stand For
Markham Woods Church seeks to be a place of grace. It’s a family that welcomes home its prodigal children. It’s a safe house for the spiritually battered. A city of refuge for the condemned. A sheltered harbor. A rehabilitation facility for the despairing. A place where past errors are laid to rest, where hope is born and where new life begins.
Our Statement
of Philosophy
“Our church family is not a fraternity for the perfect but a support group for those needing growth. Our goal is to accept people where they are on their spiritual journey, providing an environment where less-than-perfect people can be confident of love, acceptance and forgiveness in a spiritual family.”
