We are living in the Third Day - a season in which the time is short and Jesus' return is near. God has a mighty work for the church to do in this hour. The time is over for church as usual. God is calling St. Sabina to be a Third Day Church.

Characteristics of a Third Day Church

  • A church of salvation that accepts our call from God and echoes that call to others.
  • A church of transformation that is constantly changing into the image of Jesus.
  • A church of hope where the light of God's truth is always shining.
  • A church of compassion that walks in the agape love of God.
  • A church of excellence that demands and expects God's best
  • A church of education where the fresh manna of God's word is always available.
  • A church of hospitality that welcomes and receives all
  • A church of discernment that is sensitive to the Spirit of God
  • A church of revelation that sees and speaks the vision of tomorrow
  • A church of revolution that counters the world system with the power of God
  •  A church of commitment filled with people who have made a decision to not only know the word of God, but live it.

"He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 (NRSV)

Saint Sabina Martyr was a noble pagan, wife of Senator Valentino, was converted to Christianity by her maid Serapia. She was accused of being a Christian by Elpidio the Perfect (at the time), after having placed, in the family Sepulcher the holy body of Serapia, (who is also a martyr). Killed because she declared herself inscribed in the new religion, she courageously professed her faith in Christ.

Saint Sabina suffered martyrdom on the 29th of August in the year 125 under Emperor Hadrian. Her relics, together with those of the Saints Serapia, Alexander, Evenzio and Teodulo are venerated under the High Altar of the Roman Basilica which bears her name.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that He gave His only son...

The two large hands represent the hands of God the Father who offers us the gift of His son. The Father's hands are cupped because a giver offers a gift, but the gift must be received or it remains in the giver's hands. Jesus' left hand is completely open, symbolizing His total self giving of His life for our salvation. His right hand is calling us to come follow Him.

St. Sabina is a Word-based, Bible teaching church that believes in the power of praise and worship. We are a spiritual hospital where all are welcome and invited to "taste and see the goodness of the Lord."
Our purpose is to nurture and develop spiritually mature Christians who are trained leaders and who are not confined by the walls of the sanctuary, but can penetrate the world in order to present God's way of living as a divine option.

We strive to be a true Thessalonian Church that:

  • Imitates Christ;
  • Builds and models community in a fragmented world;
  • Evangelizes by reaching out to others by proclaiming the Good News;
  • Is rooted in faith and prepared to stand when we have done all else;
  • Witnesses God's goodness and love as and doers of the Word.
  • Is committed to building a Third Day Church, one that takes:
  • Takes DOMINION (Authority) Genesis 1:28
  • Takes POSSESSION (Ownership) Joshua 1:10-11
  • Makes DISCIPLES (Trains up followers of Christ)

Matthew 28:18-20


We believe that the church is called to be the immune system of the world -- fighting off the attacks of Satan. We are dependent upon the Word of God and the power and presence of the Holy Spirit to fulfill this high calling.
