About Seventh-day Adventists

Established during the Millerite movement of the 1840s, the Seventh-day Adventist Church is a mainstream Protestant church with approximately 22 million members worldwide, including 1.2 million members throughout the United States, Canada, Bermuda, and Pacific territories.

The church consists of 150,000 churches and worship groups, 230 hospitals and sanitariums, and over 9,400 schools around the world. The Adventist Church is one of the fastest-growing Protestant religions in the world.

The church’s global humanitarian arm, ADRA, works in 120 countries providing community development and disaster relief to over 25 million people.

Adventists believe a Trinity of three persons — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit — make up one God. They made salvation possible when Jesus came to earth and lived a sinless life in accordance with the Father’s will.

Adventists believe that God is concerned with the quality of human life — the way we live, eat, speak, think, treat each other, and care for the world around us is all part of His plan.
