A Brief History of Our Local Church

The Hartsdale Seventh-day Adventist Church was formed when two small congregations consolidated in the late 1960s. The Mount Vernon SDA Church had eight members who rented a Baptist church for Sabbath services, and the White Plains SDA Church’s 20 members had been renting a Pentecostal church. The two congregations came together at the Pentecostal church in White Plains under the name Central Westchester SDA Church.

After the consolidation, around 1970, one of the members approached a realtor with a binder/down payment, and contacted the Greater New York Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, which agreed to the purchase of a former Baptist church in Hartsdale. As of 1971, the congregation was meeting at Hartsdale as the Westchester SDA Church. By 1980, the church had been renamed Hartsdale SDA Church.

The Hartsdale SDA Church has been a beacon of light in our community for over 30 years. We are a multicultural fellowship of believers. And we love first-time guests!
