ABOUT SCENIC HILLS SDA

Our History

A Journey Through Time: Scenic Hills Seventh-day Adventist Church

Since its humble beginnings in 1977, Scenic Hills has been a testament to faith, community, and God’s unwavering guidance. In the late 1970s, a group of dedicated families came together with a vision to establish a new church in North San Antonio. From the outset, they faced challenges, but with the guidance of leaders like Ken Matthews and Elder Parkhurst, and a growing sense of purpose, the dream began to take shape.

A pivotal moment came when Mr. Fred Biering, a local rancher, generously donated five acres of land in memory of his mother. His gift was nothing short of a miracle, providing a foundation the church could build—physically and spiritually.

Our Beliefs

Seventh-day Adventists are a Christian faith community rooted in the Bible and focused on living with hope in Christ’s soon return. Here are our core beliefs:

God

We believe in one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who is loving, just, and the source of all life.

The Bible

The Bible is God’s inspired Word, revealing His plan of salvation and guiding our daily lives.
