Why I Left the ‘Former Adventist’ Facebook Groups

Steve Durkac Ministries Posted on March 26, 2020 by Steve DurkacSeptember 26, 2020avatar

This post may not mean anything to you, unless you are a former Adventist minister like I am or familiar with the Seventh-day Adventist church. With the advent of Facebook came groups for former Seventh-day Adventist. I joined a few and read a lot of the posts. However, it wasn’t long before I realized that many of the former Adventist group members merely express their rage and anger against everything Adventist. It doesn’t seem healthy to me. I think healthy … Continue reading →

Former Adventist Community Group

Steve Durkac Ministries Posted on January 18, 2020 by Steve DurkacJanuary 18, 2020avatar

You’ve read that I am a former Seventh-day Adventist minister, but you may be interested in knowing that I host a community group for those with similar backgrounds, like formers, inactives, questioning SDA’s, almost SDA’s, family of SDA’s, and those exploring their faith in evangelical fellowship without losing hold of identifying biblical truth. Our Former Adventist Community Group is not a place to compile proof texts, rehash complaints, hate on our past, or convince ourselves regarding theological positions, but an opportunity to listen, … Continue reading →

The Sabbath as Seal of God?

Steve Durkac Ministries Posted on May 6, 2019 by Steve DurkacMay 6, 2019avatar

Here’s why I don’t think the seal of God is Sabbath keeping and why I don’t think the mark of the Beast is Sunday keeping. Let me begin with the arguments that my Adventist friends are familiar with…(I do mean friends. I still love you all and am still thankful that God lead me into a Seventh-day Adventist Church on June 13, 1981 in Toledo, Ohio. You have taught me to value the Word of God above all.)…the SDA position … Continue reading →

I Was Once Adventist

Steve Durkac Ministries Posted on August 21, 2018 by Steve DurkacAugust 21, 2018avatar

I was once a Seventh-day Adventist pastor. In 1999 I walked away from my pulpit as an Adventist minister. I spent 18 years of my adult life as a Seventh-day Adventist Christian, including serving as a pastor in both the Carolina Conference of SDA and the Gulf States Conference of SDA. At the time that I left the Adventist denomination I was going through an unwanted divorce, and although my conference president was gracious in seeking ways to preserve my ministry, I opted to resign and walk … Continue reading →

Anti-Adventist Formers

Steve Durkac Ministries Posted on December 20, 2017 by Steve DurkacDecember 20, 2017avatar

I left the Adventist Church as a member and as a minister in December of 1999. I have never regretted that decision and have been very grateful for the way our Lord has both led me in my Christian faith and amazed at the pastoral ministry opportunities since. However, the one thing that I still find difficult to comprehend, is the former Adventists who persist in an anti-Adventist obsession while ignoring the very rest in Christ that they claim to … Continue reading →

Observations for SDA’s

Steve Durkac Ministries Posted on May 24, 2017 by Steve DurkacJanuary 6, 2021avatar

I have been out of the Seventh-day Adventist church almost as long as I was in the Seventh-day Adventist church. Since I have been among and ministering within non-Adventist churches, I have observed some things that I have always thought would be worth sharing with my Adventist friends. These are observations that I wish were shared with me when I was a SDA pastor.   Where these observations come from.. Immediately after leaving the SDA church I became involved in a local … Continue reading →
