Beginnings of a Church
The Frederick Seventh-day Adventist Church dates back to 1912, when a tent meeting was held on the corner of East and 4th Street. Four people were baptized as a result of these meetings and officially became the first Seventh-Day Adventists in Frederick, Maryland.

First Church Buildings
Our first church building was a small tabernacle, erected on Center Street in 1929. As our congregation grew, our members began raising funds for the North Market Street Church, which held its first service in 1948. In the 1960s, growth expanded rapidly, and the construction of the A-Frame Church and adjacent school building on New Design Road (later named Adventist Drive) began. In 1993, the A-Frame Church burned down due to an electrical malfunction. However, the following year, 17 acres of land were purchased for our present location on Jefferson Pike, where we remain today.
