Seventh-day Adventist
The Seventh-day Adventist Church emphasizes the imminent return of Jesus Christ, the observance of the Saturday Sabbath, and holistic health. Founded in 19th-century America, Adventists hold that the Bible is the complete rule of faith and draw on the prophetic ministry of Ellen G. White. They operate one of the largest Protestant school and hospital networks in the world.
