Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible as their only creed and hold
certain fundamental beliefs to be the teaching of the Holy Scriptures.
These beliefs, as set forth here, constitute the church's understanding
and expression of the teaching of Scripture. |

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is organized with a representative form of
church government. This means authority in the Church comes from the
membership of local churches. Executive responsibility is given to
representative bodies and officers to govern the Church. Four levels of
Church structure lead from the individual believer to the worldwide. |
