“Two are better than one… if either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” Ecclesiastes 4:9, 10
Life at Shekinah does not end when the service does. We share warm Haitian meals after worship, sing together at choir rehearsal, cheer on our Pathfinders, and pray for one another in our homes. Come see what it feels like to truly belong.

Shekinah began with a few Haitian families who loved God and prayed together in a living room. With faith and a lot of love, that small circle grew into a vibrant congregation of all ages. Today we are a Haitian Adventist church family rooted in Scripture and wrapped in the warmth of our Haitian heritage.
As part of the worldwide Adventist family, we rest and worship on the Sabbath, the seventh day, just as Jesus did. We live with joyful hope in His soon return, and we care for the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.
The Bible is our guide for faith and life.
Saved by grace through faith in Christ alone.
A weekly gift of rest, worship, and renewal.
We live with hope in His soon coming.
Pastor Marc Vilmeus leads Shekinah Haitian SDA Church in Alvarado, Texas, with a simple calling: to help every person who walks through our doors find a home in God's family. Whether this is your first visit or you are looking for a place to grow, he would love to meet you.
