Located along the beautiful Pacific Coast of California, the Santa Barbara Seventh-Day Adventist Church is part of a worldwide organization with over 18 million members in countries around the world. We would love the opportunity to have you worship with us or join us at any of the events listed on our calendar.

Pastor Riva Fidel Robinson Jr.

Pastor Robinson received his Master of Divinity degree from Andrew’s Theological Seminary and has served in the California Conference for over 15 years. Along with studying the Bible, he finds joy in teaching and mentoring young people and children with his wife, Luz. They were both born in Columbia, South America to missionary, soul-winning households that have long worked for the progress of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. They are the proud parents of three grown children, Erika, Ryan and Andrew. In their spare time, they enjoy culture, music, traveling (when possible), reading in the Humanities, decorating, architecture, playing musical instruments and networking on Facebook. They have been faithfully serving at the Santa Barbara SDA Church since February 2015 and look forward to continue serving the church and community.
