People have asked us: just what is the ‘Friends of the Sabbath’?

Mission Statement

The Friends of the Sabbath is a non-denominational commonwealth which is not controlled by any organisation but is run by and for the membership of a variety of Sabbatarian groups around the world. It is dedicated to cultivating a greater appreciation of one another among the community of Sabbath believers by supportive communication, continuing education and the acknowledgment of the talents and gifts God has granted each sabbatarian to accomplish His Work.

Purpose, Goals and Objectives

The purpose of the FOSA is to provide a means for educational opportunities for Christians of various branches of God's Church to meet across corporate boundaries through seminars and other such events. The objectives are to:

• Provide new information supporting the observation of the Sabbath sign and to teach its history from the Bible as well as the history of Sabbatarian groups and Christians
• Bring educational data to the brethren on the Sabbath and related issues to increase our knowledge of God's Word
• Share the fellowship of spiritual relatives of various Sabbatarian groups (but it is NOT seeking to become a Church or to rival any Church or the ministry)
• Proudly declare God's Sabbath sign to the world which is without knowledge of this wonderful truth and to evangelise wherever possible
• Building bridges between the older, original Sabbatarians on the one hand and the new Sabbatarians on the other

Services provided by FOSA to carry out its Vision, Mission and Objectives

• Provide a series of global educational conferences with presentations by both international and prominent local speakers, on the Sabbath and related topics
• Promote literature on the Sabbath, utilising excellent books, research papers, pamphlets, tapes and other resources
• Work closely with other similar groups with similar aims such as the Bible Sabbath Association, Giving & Sharing and Sabbath Keepers International

FOSA Basic Beliefs

• As a Sabbatarian Christian association, FOSA members believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and personal Saviour; and in the Commandments of God, including the Sabbath
• This does not exclude Jewish or Messianic Jewish participation in FOSA activities.
