Our Vision

A place to Discover Living Hope

and His saving grace

Our Mission

To grow together as disciples to serve others and to share Jesus’ love.

Our Beliefs

Seventh-day Adventists accept the bible as the only source of our beliefs. We consider our movement to be the result of the Protestant conviction Sola Scriptura—the Bible as the only standard of faith and practice for Christians.

Currently, Adventists hold 28 fundamental beliefs that can be organised into six categories—the doctrines of God, man, salvation, the church, the Christian life and last day events. In each teaching, God is the architect, who in wisdom, grace and infinite love, is restoring a relationship with humanity that will last for eternity.

Our Pastors

Tim Shelton serves as the Pastor of Fountain in the City. After several years working as a registered nurse at the Sydney Adventist Hospital, he seamlessly transitioned into local church ministry and has served at various churches across Greater Sydney. Tim enjoys witnessing how God transforms people’s lives and has a passion for working with the youth. Tim values time with family and friends, and enjoys the outdoors and activities such as bushwalking, sports and even makes time to ride both his bicycle and motorbike amongst his busy schedule.

Abigail Figueroa is from Melbourne and has a business background. After many years as a bible worker, she eventually began pastoring in 2015 after receiving her Master of Divinity degree from Andrews University. She has been working in various roles throughout Greater Sydney since 2007. Abi, who was commissioned to the gospel ministry in 2021, is especially passionate about discipleship and sharing the messages of the three angels. When she is not pastoring at Ashfield or Fountain in the City, you can find her scuba diving, bushwalking, or playing with her big puppy, Blizzard.
