Pastor Kryan John took Cambridge Church to higher heights. He instituted a more lively form of worship. The members of Cambridge loved him, wife, and three sons before transferring from the Cambridge Church of Seventh-day Adventists in February 1997.
Once again, the Cambridge Church of SDA would exist without an appointed minister, this time, for over a year‛s time. First Elder Pastor Wilbert Hemsley and the Elders of the church faithfully led the Cambridge Church of Seventh-day Adventists, while the congregation keeps to their dedication to have God house as a tribute of gratitude and love from those who have tasted the cup of Thy salvation and experienced the riches of Thy grace, bringing the house as a freewill offering to our God. Pastor Cornel Miller arrival at the Cambridge Church of Seventh-day Adventists in January of 1998. Pastor Miller ushered in an era of personal evangelism, taking evangelism out of the church and into the streets, as members marched into the cities of Medford, Cambridge, and Somerville in Massachusetts USA and placed at each home a copy of the book, Desire of Ages or Steps to Christ. In total members distributed over 30,000 copies of Steps to Christ and over 60,000 copies of Desire of Ages. Under his multi-talented eye, Pastor Miller saw the need for improving our facilities to enhance the worship service and instill a sense of reverence for the house of God. Pastor Miller saw and filled the need for a portable baptismal pool, with evangelism in mind, but also with designs on saving the members the time and strain of migration to a sister church for our baptisms. Before departing for his next Pastoral appointment, Pastor Miller successfully lead the members of the church to use their skills and their talents, time, and money, to completely renovate the Sanctuary. Led by Brother Millard Blake and the building committee, the church went to work, completing Phase-One of our total renovation plan. Much thanks to the work of the Smith's family.
Pastor Paul Goodridge was installed as our next pastor on November 24, 2000. He met a church that is ready to work and is full of the spirit of self-examination. The remodeled sanctuary was dedicated on January 19, 2002.
On November 11, 2006, Pastor Elgin R. Clement was our next young pastor at Cambridge Church. At the start, he instituted fourteen community ministries and assign each member working in them. The morgage on the church building was completely paid-off in November 2007. After owning the building we setout in search of a bigger sanctuary.
Today, in all areas of our lives and ministry, we share the words of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, "NOT BY MIGHT, NOR BY POWER, BUT BY MY SPIRIT, SAY THE LORD OF HOSTS." IBC. 4:6.
The congregation of The Cambridge Church of SDA dedicated the building at 62 Dexter Street in Medford MA to God for the worship in prayer and in song; for the preaching and teaching of the Word and for the celebration of the holy ordinances. Also dedicated it for the strength to those who are tempted and for help in right living; for the sanctification of the family; for the guidance of children and youth; for the salvation of men and women. Cambridge Church is also dedicated for the defense of liberty; for the training of conscience and for aggressive warfare against evil; for the help of the needy; for the relief of the distressed; for the defense of God's Sabbath; for the hastening the coming of Christ. The people of Cambridge church and congregation, consecrated themselves anew to dedicate the entire building to the cause and service of God.
