The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a Christian denomination that places strong emphasis on the second coming of Jesus Christ. They observe the Sabbath on Saturday, as a day of rest and worship, in accordance with the Fourth Commandment in the Ten Commandments. The denomination also emphasizes healthful living, following the teachings of their founder, Ellen G. White, who believed that the body, mind, and spirit are interconnected and should be cared for as a whole.
Adventists believe in the Bible as the only source of authority for their faith and practice and hold to the fundamental beliefs of the Trinity, the divinity of Jesus Christ, and salvation through faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection. They also believe in the biblical teachings of the state of the dead, the nature of humanity, and the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Adventists are known for their emphasis on health and wellness, operating a worldwide network of hospitals and medical clinics. They also place a strong emphasis on education, running a large network of schools, colleges, and universities. The Seventh-day Adventist Church is active in mission work, with a strong focus on spreading their message of hope and salvation through Jesus Christ to people around the world.
