1863 · 19th century · Also known as Seventh-day Adventism

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a Protestant Christian denomination formally organised in the United States in 1863, which keeps Saturday as the Sabbath and emphasises the imminent Second Coming of Christ. It grew through missions into a worldwide church with millions of members, running schools and hospitals. The people of Pitcairn Island converted to it after an Adventist missionary's visit in 1886.
