The Seventh-Day Adventist Church is a Christian denomination that emphasizes the observance of the Sabbath on the seventh day of the week, which is Saturday. Founded in the mid-19th century in the United States, it arose from the Millerite movement, which anticipated the second coming of Christ. The church promotes a holistic approach to health, encouraging a vegetarian diet and healthy living. Seventh-Day Adventists believe in the authority of the Bible and the importance of personal faith. They also emphasize the significance of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the need for spiritual readiness. The church operates numerous educational and health institutions worldwide.
