Question 1

You're primarily a Christian store, but do you serve non-Christians?

Accepted Answer

Of course! Our store serves everyone. Many of our products are groceries, healthcare, and skincare products, giving people of all religious and spiritual background reason to shop at our store. We invite anyone in our community to visit us, whether for Christian products or for organic groceries. Our doors are open to all!

Question 2

Is your store Seventh-day Adventist?

Accepted Answer

Yes, LivingWell is owned by the Potomac Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists, and all of our staff are Adventists. For many years, LivingWell was known as the Potomac Adventist Book and Health Food Store. We changed our name to LivingWell, partly because we wanted to describe what we hope happens in our customers’ lives – we hope you’re living well! We also wanted to clear up a misimpression – that only Adventists were allowed to shop here. We specialize in many Adventist products, including a wide variety of books published by Adventist authors and veggie-meat brands produced by Adventist companies. However, we also sell books by many other publishers, we carry products that serve churches of other denominations, plus sell veggie-meats and other specialty foods that are produced by secular companies. LivingWell hopes that everyone - Adventist or non-Adventist - enjoys shopping here and finds healthful products that make their lives better. We want to help people keep “LivingWell.”

Question 3

Do you have any pastors on staff?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do! Our General Manager is a pastor, and several of our staff have pastoral and mission experience. All of our staff are Christian though, so if you need extra prayer, you're welcome to ask any staff member to pray with you.

Question 4

Do you have other locations?

Accepted Answer

No, LivingWell currently only has one location, located in Silver Spring, MD. There are other Adventist Book Centers in the region, but LivingWell is the largest and carries the widest variety of product.

Question 5

Can I order online?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We know that not everyone that wants to shop with us can make it to our store as often as they like, so our webstore is online and ready for you to shop at our store from wherever you may be.

Question 6

I want to order something but can't find it online, what do I do?

Accepted Answer

Just because something doesn't appear in our online store doesn't mean that we don't have it. To order things that are not on our website, you can place an order via phone call to our orders department.  Simply call us at (301) 572-0700 and choose option 1 to place your order.
