Seventh-day We follow the Bible, and keep the seventh-day Sabbath. After six days of creation, God rested on the seventh. He blessed the seventh day, and set it aside as holy (Gen 2:3). He reminded us to keep the Sabbath when He gave the 10 Commandments at Mount Sinai (Ex 20:8-11). Jesus worshipped on the Sabbath day (Luke 4:16). After death, He even rested in the tomb over the Sabbath (Luke 23:54). After Christ's resurrection, the apostles, notably Paul, continued to keep the Sabbath (Acts 18:4, Acts 13:42-44).

Adventist We believe in the imminent return, or advent, of our savior Jesus Christ (Rev 2:20, Matt 24:3-31) . Our church has its roots in the Great Disappointment of 1844, when a large group of Christians known as Millerites expected Christ to return on the night of October 22. After the night passed uneventfully, many gave up their faith. Others began to study the Bible with renewed vigor in order to understand where they had gone wrong. It is from this group, which refused to lose faith, that the Seventh-day Adventist Church was born.
