About Our Church
Our church began in 1922 when a group of Christians sought to diligently study the scripture. In so doing, they discovered that the
rightful day of worship was the seventh-day Sabbath which was
Saturday. An outgrowth of this study group was the founding of
the Ethan Temple Seventh-day Adventist Church, which was organized in July 1923. The congregation first met in a two-story house on
Home Avenue. In 1926, as the congregation grew, the church relocated to South Williams Street where it remained until larger quarters were needed, and the move was made to Oakridge Drive in
1963. We remained there until 2008 when we relocated to our present location at 4000 Shiloh Springs Road, Clayton, OH, with a membership of more than 300 people. For more than 90 years, this
church has preached the Three Angels’ Messages in the Dayton
community and given birth to three additional congregations –the
Dale Wright Memorial Seventh-day Adventist Church, the Hillcrest
Seventh-day Adventist Church and New Life Seventh-day Adventist
Church.
Our Mission and Vision
The mission of the Ethan Temple Seventh-day Adventist Church is
to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all the people in the Dayton,
OH, area. In so doing we want our neighbors and friends to see us
as a church that is looking forward to Christ’s coming, exemplifying
His centeredness, His compassion, and carrying out His commission. In order to achieve our mission and vision, we must be a Spirit
-filled group of people who has God as the focus of our existence
through worship, Bible study, Christian fellowship, and out-reach
programs witnessing to others of Christ’s soon return.
Our Wish
If you do not have a church affiliation or if you are new to
this area and are looking for a church home, we invite you
to share in the fellowship and ministry of the Ethan Temple
Seventh-day Adventist Church. If you desire to declare
your faith in Jesus Christ and accept His free gift of salvation or desire to join our church, you are invited to come
forward during the sermon appeal.

Prayer Thought
Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where
the good way is, and walk in it. In order to walk in the good way, you
need to be alert: praying in the Spirit on all occasions. Ephesians 6:18
