Adventist Church(es) in Surabaya Quick Guide

Gereja Advent Tanjung Perak

Gereja Advent Tanjung Perak

Hi brothers and sisters!

I personally create this guide as a quick guide for SDAs who travel to Surabaya and have no idea about the SDA churches there.
This guide does not discuss all the SDA churches in Surabaya, but rather only the churches that I visited, mostly located in the heart of Surabaya city.

Most of the SDA churches in Surabaya are named based on its street or location, making them easy to remember. Finding the route to the churches, however, is another story
since the road in Surabaya is quite “artistically” planned, and public transportation route information is not quite available, even when you ask most of the local residence. So it sure take some time to get familiar with the city.

My two cents, buy Surabaya Map from bookstore, it costs around Rp 30,000 but will be the best investment during stay in Surabaya.

The comment about the churches are based on my personal observation.

1 – Anjasmoro

Address: Jl. Anjasmoro No.12 Surabaya
How to get there: Find ways to Basuki Rachmat Street, take the “E” Mikrolet, go down at stoplight before Tidar street.

First church that I attended when I arrived in Surabaya.
It is quite famous, because it has the only Adventist School (from Elementary to Senior High) in Surabaya.

2 – Tanjung Anom

My Comment:

I heard it is one of the largest Adventist church in Surabaya
It’s a compound that includes the Surabaya Conference office and Adventist Book Store.
Finding this church is kind of tricky for me because Tanjung Anom street is not listed in my map.

3 – Tanjung Perak

Address: Jl. Teluk Kumai Barat 2 Surabaya
