At the Clarksville Seventh-day Adventist Church, we embrace a holistic approach to life, recognizing the vital connection between our spiritual, mental, and physical well-being. Rooted in biblical principles, our Health and Temperance message emphasizes making wise lifestyle choices that honor God and promote abundant living. This includes nourishing our bodies with wholesome plant-based foods, engaging in regular physical activity, getting sufficient rest, and finding healthy ways to manage stress. We also advocate for temperance in all things, encouraging avoidance of harmful substances. Through education, support, and community, we strive to empower individuals and families to experience the fullness of life that God intends.
