About Aiken Seventh-day Adventist Church
The Aiken Seventh-day Adventist church was founded in the 1950s by a handful of believers who began meeting together in each other’s houses. Over the last 60+ years our membership has grown and worship facilities have been enlarged. Construction of our new church building is complete. We have started holding services at our new building since April 1st 2017!
