Seventh-day Adventist Church

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a Protestant Christian denomination that originated in the mid-19th century in the United States, distinguished by its observance of Saturday, the seventh day of the week, as the Sabbath. Founded on the teachings of William Miller and the Great Disappointment of 1844, the church emphasizes the imminent second coming of Christ and the importance of living a lifestyle in accordance with biblical principles, including health and dietary guidelines. Its doctrine is based on the Bible and includes a strong focus on the holistic well-being of individuals, promoting health through a vegetarian diet and abstinence from alcohol and tobacco. The church operates a global network of schools, hospitals, and humanitarian services, and it is known for its commitment to education, health, and community outreach.
