The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a mainstream Protestant church with approximately 19 million members worldwide, including more than one million members in North America. The Seventh-day Adventist Church seeks to enhance quality of life for people everywhere and to let people know that Jesus Christ is coming again soon.
Seventh-day Adventists believe a Godhead of three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—make up one God. The plan of salvation was made possible when Christ Jesus, the Son, came to earth as a baby in Bethlehem and lived a sinless life in accordance with the Father's will. When Jesus Christ was crucified bearing all the sins of all the people of the world and arose from the dead on the third day, victory was won for everyone to choose.
When He returned to heaven following the resurrection, the Holy Spirit came to serve as our Comforter and Counselor. Christ Jesus promised to return to earth a second time to complete His plan of salvation and take His people to heaven. Seventh-day Adventists are among the believers who look forward to that day.
Seventh-day Adventists believe that God is concerned with the quality of human life, and that everything—the way we live, eat, speak, think, treat each other, and care for the world around us—is part of His plan. Our families, our children, our jobs, our talents, our money, and our time are all important to Him.
