Victor Harewood, church leader for the United Arab Emirates and Oman, along with some 250 local members met on the plot in Ras Al Khaimah to unveil the building's cornerstone, officially opening the construction site.
Ras Al Khaimah is one of seven emirates in the UAE. Its crown prince and deputy ruler, Shaikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, approved the building project in 2008.
"[The move] will give Adventists official registration, recognition ... and ability to have our own church building," said Rajee Mathew, building project manager.
Previously, Adventists met in church members' homes or rented worship spaces owned by other Christian denominations.
Church officials expect construction on the three-story building to wrap up in 8 months. The first level is slated to house a worship hall seating up to 500.

A team of Seventh-day Adventist Church relief workers is on its way to the Dominican Republic border and is expected to cross into Haiti later today.
The first wave of assistance brings medical supplies and emergency goods to the country after a 7.0 - magnitude earthquake left the nation's capital of Port-au-Prince in ruins Tuesday evening. Tens of thousands are thought to be dead.
The team, consisting of Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) workers, medical personnel from partner organization Global Medic and Inter-American church leaders, will deliver supplies, pass out water purification tablets and set up emergency care clinics.
The team will also assess the situation for the next round of relief work, which ADRA has pledged in the amount of $1 million.
ADRA President Charles Sandefur said the organization is fully committed to providing quick solutions to the urgent need in Haiti.

The international paper for Seventh-day Adventist Church, Adventist World, is adding new languages in both print and online editions to benefit language groups in Europe and Asia.
Six months after the online launch of a German-language edition, an estimated 25,000 Adventist Church members in Germany and Switzerland will begin receiving monthly print copies of Adventist World in their own language, Adventist Review staff said.
The launch is in partnership with Advent-Verlag, a church-owned publishing house based in Lueneburg, near Hamburg, Germany, which is launching a new denominational magazine for its membership area at the same time.

A magazine targeting Seventh-day Adventists aged 50 and over is moving online after more than two years in print circulation.
Editors say RenewedAndReady.com will feature much of the same content distributed monthly in Renewed & Ready, a publication of church-owned Pacific Press that saw its final issue in September.
