We Welcome You! 
The pastoral staff, officers and members of the Tamarind Avenue Seventh-day Adventist Church would like nothing better than to have you make a personal visit to their beautiful edifice, located in the heart of Compton, CA. There you would experience the reality of God's love through the warmth and caring of both its English and Spanish-speaking congregants. 

In lieu of that personal visit, however, we hope that this Website will allow you to smell the aromatic fragrance of participation in kingdom-building and taste the full flavor of God's goodness as the various outreach and in-reach ministries of the church are profiled. We pray for God's continued blessings on you and hope that you will plan to return to this site often. By God's grace, may each visit meet the very needs of your individual life and bring you to the personal acknowledgment that It's All About HIM!
