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 700 people. For more than 90 years,
this church
has preached the Three
Angels’
Messages
in
the
Dayton
community and given birth to two additional congregations –the
New Life Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Hillcrest
Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Dr. Joe I. Grider is our
th
25 pastor.

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 outreach 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 Seventhday 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.
