Faith, Hope, and the Great Disappointment: The Story of Seventh-day Adventists

Church History

During a period of powerful preaching, large revival gatherings, and a movement to make Bibles accessible, a deep interest in faith, Bible study, and the second coming of Christ was sparked. This revival atmosphere led William Miller to predict the return of Jesus, but when his prophecy failed, the disappointment led to the formation of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Through figures like Ellen White, the Adventist movement grew and developed distinctive beliefs around Sabbath observance, health, and soul sleep. Today, the Seventh-day Adventist Church has a global influence with over 19 million members.
