Seventh-day Adventists In 1844, as a result of intense study of the prophetic portions of scripture by earnest Christians representing various religious groups, there arose a keen awareness, that Christ our Heavenly High Priest, upon completing His investigation of the Life records of all professed Christians, would return in person to earth with His rewards. This spon-taneous conviction of these unpopular views caused these sincere believers to be sep-arated from their churches, as they persistently held to these beliefs. However, being drawn together, this revival grew into a world movement encompassing 215 countries and approximately 750 languages.
Our Name The name “Seventh-day Adventist” chosen in 1860, includes vital beliefs for us as a Church. 'Adventist' reflects our passionate conviction in the nearness of the soon return ('advent') of Jesus (John 14:1-3). 'Seventh-day' refers to the Biblical Sabbath which from Creation has always been the 7th day of the week, or Saturday (Exodus 20:8-11).
Our Mission The mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is to proclaim to all peoples the ever-lasting gospel in the context of the Three Angels' messages of Revelation 14:6-12, leading them to accept Jesus as their personal Savior and to unite with His church, and nurturing them in preparation for His soon return.
