Connect SDARM is the official app of the Seventh day Adventist Reform Movement Church. It brings together what your week of faith asks for: the Word, study, praise and the life of your church. THE BIBLE, YOUR WAY Eight versions in Portuguese, Spanish and English. Mark verses, write notes and search a word across all books at once. The verse of the day arrives in the morning, and what you marked stays there — even offline. THE SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON Each day's lesson, for adults and teens, in three languages. Highlight a passage, write your comment and answer the questions: your answer is saved even with a weak signal and uploads on its own when the network returns. The Journey badges follow your walk — attendance, streak and achievements — and the card is ready to share with your class. THE WHOLE HYMNAL Over 600 hymns, with lyrics, sheet music and audio. Several hymnals, with language switching. And presentation mode, which projects the hymn on the church screen with the brand typography — made for whoever leads the praise. YOUR CHURCH, CLOSE BY Saturday worship with times and order of service. The events calendar of your unit, your union and all of Brazil, with registration and tickets. The movement's news. Your church's notices. And the prayer request wall, where the community prays together. COURSES AND LIBRARY Training courses with lessons, materials, quizzes in four formats, flashcards and a certificate on completion. The library brings books, the morning and sunset meditations and published articles — all available offline after the first read. THE SABBATH AT YOUR PACE On Friday, the countdown to sunset in your city. At the end of the Sabbath, the closing blessing. And the Happy Sabbath card, ready to send to someone you love. MEMBER CARD AND GIVING Your digital member card, which also goes to Apple Wallet. And tithes and offerings delivered to your unit, with a receipt. MADE FOR EVERYONE Portuguese, Spanish and English. Dark mode. Works in landscape, on iPhone and iPad. Respects the system's large font and screen readers. To use it, you must be a registered member — access is with your CPF. If your church is not yet in the app, contact your unit's secretary. Seventh-day Adventist Reform Movement Church asdmr.org.br
