Seventh Day Baptists are Christians. We preach Jesus Christ crucified and risen. We follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We believe the Bible is the final authority for matters of faith and practice. We baptize believers by immersion and observe God's Sabbath. The association of churches known as Seventh Day Baptists arose in the context of 17th century England and spread across the Atlantic Ocean into what would become the United States of America and from there around the globe. From approximately 1650 until the present, Seventh Day Baptists have proclaimed the gospel of Jesus Christ and have desired to live lives that bring glory to God. This site explores some of their history, personalities, and churches. It focuses primarily on the history of the movement within the United States. In time, it may include additional information from the Seventh Day Baptist movement around the world. A Thumbnail Sketch of Seventh Day Baptists provides a quick introduction to the movement.
