History of the Seventh-day Adventists

The Seventh-day Adventist Church had its roots in the Millerite movement
of the 1830s and 1840s, during the period of the Second Great
Awakening, and was officially founded in 1863. Prominent figures in the
early church include Hiram Edson, James Springer White and his wife
Ellen G. White, Joseph Bates, and J. N. Andrews. Over the ensuing
decades the church expanded from its original base in New England to
become an international organization. Significant developments in the
20th century led to its recognition as a Christian denomination.
