adventist church
A worship space used for prayer and services by a Saturday-observing Adventist congregation.
An Adventist church is a house of worship used for prayer and services in Adventism, a Protestant movement which celebrates the sabbath on Saturday instead of the more common Christian sabbath of Sunday. The largest denomination within this movement is Seventh-Day Adventism.
The definition covers Adventist worship with Saturday Sabbath observance, including Seventh-day Adventism. The religious affiliation and the observance described above identify this use.
A service held on Saturday does not by itself establish an Adventist church, since a congregation of another denomination can also meet that day. The term concerns the congregation's Adventist tradition rather than the date of an individual event.
