Церква Адвентистів Сьомого Дня

Amazing church! I have traveled to many SDA churches in Europe and can honestly say this was my favorite. The people were so friendly to me, translating the service to English, and even inviting me home for lunch. The testimonies they shared with me shows me that this church is spiritualy alive and active. Keep on sharing the love of Jesus!

A place where you can get peace and tranquility for the soul and hear God's voice!

He has been at Worship Services at this church, which takes place here every Saturday (beginning at 10:00 AM). I especially liked the fact that the time spent reading the Bible is greater than the time of the choir. Enjoyed a Saturday school lesson where anyone can express their opinions or ask a general discussion question Unlike most traditional churches, this church celebrates the seventh day of the week - Saturday, not Sunday (as do Jews who recognize, in particular, the first five books of the Christian Bible, which contain the 10 Commandments, including the commandment that God sanctified the 7th day of the week - Saturday) But unlike most Jews, in the Seventh-day Adventist Church of Jesus Christ they confess that He is the Messiah (in Greek, Christ), He is God, He is the Creator, He is the Redeemer (He died for our sins and He was resurrected on the third day), He - High Priest, He will soon come in His glory to judge the living and the dead, He will reign in the kingdom, where there will be no wars of war, He will wipe away every tear. And there will be no end to His Kingdom

Quiet and quiet place

The Capuchin monastery and the church were built in 1708–1730. The church acquired its modern look after the reconstructions in the XIX – XX centuries. Today the church is adapted for the prayer house of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Architectural monument (ca. 321329). In the 1990s, the church building was handed over to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. In 1997 they developed a project for the adaptation of the church to a house of prayer (architect Mykola Rybenchuk) and carried out repair and restoration work with the device. Architecture The complex of the Franciscan monastery consists of a church (now an Adventist church), monastery buildings (special school premises) and a monastery garden and walls (now a recreational area of ​​the special school). The main element of the ensemble is the church - basilica, three-nave, brick building, plastered building, with adjacent from the south and east of the monastery cells. The architectural solution of the church is quite modest. Only the main facade has an architectural structure - pilasters and bas-relief depicting the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception. The central nave, which is much higher than the side ones, is united on the façade by characteristic baroque arches topped with vases. The facade is accentuated by a strict triangular pediment with a round window on the axis of the tympanum and crumbs, completed in 1902 in baroque forms. A rectangular chapel and several small storeys adjoin the northern nave of the church in a separate volume. The central nave of the church is covered with a cylindrical vault with moldings, the side naves with a system of cross vaults, the chapel and the altar with a cross vault. According to the functional typology, the monastery premises are now educational and residential buildings (boarding schools). The monastery buildings are adjacent to the southern and eastern walls of the church, closing perimeter, forming an inner courtyard. The eastern monastery building is connected to the chapel adjacent to the eastern wall of the altar. The south-eastern monastery building is connected to the novitiate building by a small passage (with a stairwell and toilets). The monastery buildings are three-storey, with vaulted cellars, covered with gabled tin roofs. Inside - corridor planning and flat floors. The monastic buildings of the Franciscan Fathers generally retained the characteristic features of such complexes, although their spatial planning structure has partially lost its original appearance due to numerous reconstructions and repairs. The monastery garden in its current state is very neglected. In the south-eastern part there are courts, and in the middle part near the northern wall there is a boarding school yard. From the regular planning of the garden, which can be seen on maps and cadastral plans of the XVIII and XIX centuries, the main alley of various trees (hornbeams, lindens, sycamores and maples), single chestnuts, ash trees, pines, etc., as well as some fruit trees, in particular walnut row at the eastern wall. The monastery walls are preserved: from the north - the whole ridge, from the east - partially, with a pierced passage, from the south - only at the level of the foundations. From the east - a fence of brick columns and metal bars.
