We’re Stronger Together
With your help, we can advance education and improve student success in our community.
Loma Linda University is a Seventh-day Adventist institution, and our faith shapes how we teach, care, and serve. These questions cover what that means, what we believe, and how we welcome people of all backgrounds.
Faith in Jesus Christ (Hebrews 12:2), commitment to living a life fully informed by Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16), and dedication to service (Matthew 25:35-36).
It is healthcare that considers body, mind, and spirit, reflecting the example of Jesus’ healing ministry (Luke 10:9).
Loma Linda University Health offers chaplains, worship opportunities, prayer services, and pastoral counseling for all employees, learners, patients, and families, regardless of and sensitive to faith backgrounds.
Yes. LLUH welcomes and respects people of all beliefs, supporting spiritual needs with compassion and inclusivity.
No. We welcome all backgrounds who support our mission and values.
A co-founder and early Adventist leader, Ellen White emphasized and even made plain biblical counsel on faith, health, education, and service. Adventists believe her gift of prophecy points people back to the Bible, never replaces it.
From Creation, the seventh day was set apart (Genesis 2:2-3). Adventists honor it as God’s gift of rest (Isaiah 58:13-14).
Yes. Seventh-day Adventists are Christians who believe in the Bible, the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), and that salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ. They are recognized around the world as part of the Protestant Christian family, with millions of members, schools, hospitals, and humanitarian work that serve people everywhere. Unlike groups that reject central Christian teachings or follow a single human leader, Adventists share the core beliefs of historic Christianity.
Not all, but many choose plant-based diets of some sort. LLUH promotes healthy living for all (Daniel 1:12-15). The Adventist Health Studies coordinated by LLUH have yielded robust peer-reviewed evidence of the Adventist lifestyle, with Loma Linda included in the Blue Zones® of the world regarding longevity.
