This year, Hope Channel Philippines celebrates the 160th anniversary of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. The Seventh-day Adventist Church had its roots in the Millerite movement of the 1830s to the 1840s, during the period of the Second Great Awakening, and was officially founded in 1863.
Organized in 1863, the Seventh-day Adventist Church has its doctrinal roots in the “Advent Awakening” movement of the 1840s. Hundreds of thousands of Christians became convinced from their study of Bible prophecy that Christ would soon return. This re-awakening of a neglected Biblical belief occurred in many countries.
Growth from the early days has been dramatic. From the small group meeting in 1846 and the organization of the church with 3,500 believers, Seventh-day Adventists now number 21 million worldwide. In just about every country, you can find an Adventist church or ministry working to grow the kingdom of God and help meet people's needs.
The church is ready to serve the community near and far. We go for Mission and worry about nothing because the Lord who has led us in the past will surely lead the church now and forever more.
