See also: Adventist beliefs and Adventist theologyThe Loma Linda University church is a part of the worldwide Seventh-day Adventist Church from which it derives its beliefs. The Adventist Church shares many beliefs with other Protestant Christian Churches. Like other Christians, Adventist believe in Jesus as their lord and saviour. They view him as the divine Son of God; part of the trinity. Adventists believe in Protestant concept of "sola scriptura,"meaning they consider the bible the ultimate authority on matters of faith. Adventists believe God grants everyone free will and invites all to use their free will to come to Jesus for eternal life. Historically, the Adventist church has officially advocated the Genesis creation narrative; however, there is a wide variety of viewpoints within the church, including those that believe in evolution and theistic evolution. The official statement of belief regarding the subject is specifically worded to allow a variety of viewpoints. Adventists were founded through a belief in the second advent. Unlike most other Christians, Adventists hold worship services on Saturday, not Sunday.
