Send us Fan Mail The Seventh Day Adventist Church is a very large, international denomination. It is among 5 other Adventist denominations who grew out of the efforts of William Miller in 1831 In Massachusetts. In 1833 Miller began preaching that the end of the world was at hand and predicted the second coming of Christ to occur in about 1843 and that His personal thousand year reign would begin at that time. , By 1840, Adventism was a significant religious movement By 1843, they had increased to the point they became a loose organization, the sign of a new and developing sect.
