What is Waldorf Seventh-day Adventist Church?
Waldorf Seventh-day Adventist Church is a Christian congregation in White Plains, Maryland, that describes itself as "a Christian community" and invites visitors to "join our family." Its stated purpose is "In Service To All, We Honor Him," and its site combines worship times, ministry groups, giving instructions and a sign-up for its church management system (Church Community Builder) on one page.
What a visit looks like
The published Saturday schedule is unusually detailed for a church homepage, which makes it useful for planning:
- 9:30–10:00 AM: 30-minute morning prayer session
- 10:00 AM: Sabbath School; children's, youth and young adult divisions meet in the Fellowship Hall for a general assembly before splitting into classes
- 11:30 AM: Worship service in the sanctuary
Midweek options are a Tuesday 8:00 PM prayer line by Zoom and a Wednesday 7:00 PM fellowship and prayer meeting, held both in the sanctuary and on Zoom. The site lists two addresses — a mailing address (4660 Crain Hwy. #58, White Plains, MD 20695) and a meeting location (11245 Berry Rd., Waldorf, MD 20603) — so a first-time visitor should confirm which one applies to the service they plan to attend.
Who it suits
The page is written for people looking for a local Adventist congregation with structured Sabbath School divisions for children and youth, and for members who want to keep up with ministry events, forms and groups through the church's online community tool. Someone who prefers a single Sunday service, or who wants detailed doctrinal material on the website itself, will find less here: the page points to an About Us page for beliefs rather than summarizing them. The site also promotes a Barbara O'Neill seminar from April 2024, which suggests an interest in health and lifestyle programming alongside worship.
Practical next step
If you are considering a visit, the most informative move is to check the calendar for ministry events and the current meeting location, then contact the church office ([email protected], 301-645-8835; remote hours Monday–Thursday, 9:00 AM–2:00 PM) to confirm the Saturday schedule before attending. Giving is handled through AdventistGiving, Zelle or Cash App, with a note to email or text the donor's name and address if an end-of-year receipt is wanted.
For broader context on the denomination, see Seventh-day Adventist Church.
What time are the Saturday Sabbath School and worship services at Waldorf SDA Church?
Saturday Sabbath School starts at 10:00 AM, and the worship service begins at 11:30 AM. A 30-minute prayer session precedes them at 9:30 AM, so a visitor arriving by 9:30 AM can attend all three without rushing.
The page lists two locations, so confirm which one applies before you go: the welcome text says the children's, youth, and young adult Sabbath School divisions meet at 10 AM in the Fellowship Hall, while the closing notice gives the meeting address as 11245 Berry Rd., Waldorf, MD 20603. The times are consistent across the page, but the venue wording is not, so a quick call to the church office (301-645-8835) or an email to [email protected] will settle it.
If you plan to visit, aim to arrive about ten minutes before 10:00 AM: that leaves time to find the Fellowship Hall, get children signed in to their divisions, and settle in before the general assembly. For anyone who cannot attend in person, the page also lists a Tuesday Zoom prayer line at 8:00 PM and a Wednesday mid-week fellowship and prayer meeting at 7:00 PM, available in the sanctuary or on Zoom.
How can I watch or attend the Barbara O'Neill seminar from April 2024?
The page doesn't say how to watch or attend the April 2024 Barbara O'Neill seminar. It mentions the seminar only as a heading, with no dates, location, registration, recording or streaming details, so there is no confirmed way to join it or view it from this page.
Practical next step
- Ask the church directly. The site lists a church office contact, [email protected], and a phone number, 301-645-8835, with remote office hours Monday–Thursday, 9:00 AM–2:00 PM. Ask whether the seminar was recorded, whether recordings are available on request, and whether a similar seminar is planned.
- Check the calendar and sign-up area. The page points visitors to its calendar for ministry events and to Church Community Builder (CCB) for communications, forms, registration and groups. If a future seminar is scheduled, that is where registration is most likely to appear.
- Plan around the regular services if you want to visit. The page gives Saturday prayer at 9:30 AM, Sabbath School at 10:00 AM and worship at 11:30 AM, plus a Tuesday Zoom prayer line at 8:00 PM and a Wednesday mid-week meeting at 7:00 PM in the sanctuary or on Zoom. These are the church's ongoing gatherings, not the seminar.
If you mainly want the seminar's content
Barbara O'Neill speaks on health and lifestyle topics from a Christian perspective, so a reader interested in that material can look for her own ministry's official channels rather than assume this church hosts or streams it. For a local alternative, ask the church office whether it has hosted or plans to host similar health seminars.
Decision criterion
If you need a recording, ask the office first and treat the event as unconfirmed until you hear back. If you want to attend in person, confirm the venue and time with the office before traveling, since the page lists two addresses (a mailing address in White Plains and a meeting location on Berry Rd. in Waldorf).
What are the options for giving tithes and offerings to Waldorf SDA Church, including Zelle and Cash App?
The church lists three ways to give: AdventistGiving (online), a mailed check to Waldorf SDA Church, 4660 Crain Hwy. #58, White Plains, MD 20695, and direct transfers via Zelle (301-233-0804) or Cash App ($Waldorfsda).
If you use Zelle or Cash App
The page asks donors using either app to email [email protected] or text (571) 236-3675 with their Zelle or Cash App name. To receive an end-of-year donation receipt, include your name and mailing address in that message. In practice, the app transfer alone doesn't identify you to the church, so the follow-up message is what connects your gift to your record.
Choosing a method
- AdventistGiving: best if you want an online record tied to your name without extra steps; the page points to it for tithes and offerings.
- Zelle or Cash App: convenient for a quick phone transfer, but budget a minute afterward to send your name and address if you want a receipt.
- Mail: suitable for those who prefer checks or don't use payment apps; use the White Plains, MD address above.
A quick decision rule
If a receipt matters to you, prefer AdventistGiving or mail, or send the follow-up message promptly after an app transfer. If speed matters most, Zelle or Cash App works, but keep a note of the date and amount for your own records. For questions about giving, the church lists [email protected] and 301-645-8835.
How do I join the church's Zoom prayer line or mid-week fellowship meeting?
The Waldorf Seventh-day Adventist Church lists two mid-week gatherings: a Tuesday night Zoom prayer line at 8:00 PM and a Wednesday Mid-Week Fellowship & Prayer Meeting at 7:00 PM that meets either in the Sanctuary or on Zoom. The site does not publish a Zoom link, meeting ID or passcode on the page, so the practical step is to request the connection details directly from the church office before the meeting you want to attend.
Practical next step
Contact the church office and ask for the Zoom details for the specific meeting you plan to join, since the Tuesday prayer line and the Wednesday fellowship may use different links:
- Email: [email protected]
- Phone: 301-645-8835
- Remote office hours: Monday–Thursday, 9:00 AM–2:00 PM
You can also check the church calendar, which the site says lists all ministry events, in case the link or schedule is posted there.
What to expect
The Tuesday prayer line appears to be Zoom-only, so you will need the link in advance. The Wednesday meeting gives you a choice: attend in person at the Sanctuary or join by Zoom. If you are new to the church, the in-person option lets you meet people directly; the Zoom option suits anyone who cannot travel or prefers to observe first.
Decision criterion
If you want a low-commitment introduction, start with the Tuesday prayer line once you have the link. If you would rather meet the community face to face, go to the Wednesday fellowship at the Sanctuary and ask an usher or member for the Zoom details for future weeks.
What children's and youth Sabbath School classes are available, and where do they meet?
Children's, youth and young adult Sabbath School divisions all meet at 10:00 AM in the Fellowship Hall, where they gather for a general assembly before splitting into their individual classes. The site lists the divisions collectively rather than naming each age group, so the specific class breakdown for a given child isn't spelled out on the page.
Practical next step
If you're planning a first visit with children, arrive a few minutes before 10:00 AM so you can join the general assembly and ask a teacher which class fits your child's age. For a confirmed placement, contact the church office at [email protected] or 301-645-8835 during remote office hours (Monday–Thursday, 9:00 AM–2:00 PM). Note that the Saturday services are held at 11245 Berry Rd., Waldorf, MD 20603, so check the location before you go.
For context, families often compare a congregation's children's program with other local Adventist churches before settling in; the Seventh-day Adventist Church site explains how Sabbath School is generally structured, which helps you know what to expect on a first visit.
