Who are Seventh-day Adventists?
Seventh-day Adventists trace their roots back to the Millerite movement of the 1840s when thousands of Christians were searching for a better understanding of Bible prophecy. A small group of these searchers, based in New England, felt impressed to start a church with the knowledge they had gained. The name they chose reflects two distinctive ideas they discovered: “Seventh-day” refers to the biblical Sabbath, Saturday. The fourth commandment of God’s unchangeable law requires the observance of this seventh-day Sabbath as the day of rest, worship and ministry in harmony with the teaching and practice of Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath. “Adventist” refers to the second coming of Jesus – something they believed was happening soon. In 1863, pioneers organized the new denomination with 3,500 members worshiping in 125 churches. The church grew quickly and today there are over 13 million members in more than 200 countries around the world. Adventists operate the largest Protestant hospital and educational system in the world, as well as several publishing houses and humanitarian organizations.
