About 30 percent of their annual accessions officially leave. The percentage is much larger when inactive members are included in the tally.

The number of Adventists who believe in Ellen White must be fairly large, especially since the church as an institution holds her in high regard. It would not be surprising if the number were lower in the US than in other countries, for example, but it is safe to say that most Adventists outside the US believe in her. I would guess that the worldwide percentage is somewhere around 85% or more. Many Adventists would be surprised by the question, assuming that all Adventists believe in her. Many have been brought to the church through her writings. Critics and skeptics of her within the church have always been in the minority. Another answer: The percentage of Seventh-Day Adventists who believe in Ellen White is less than 20%.

Seventh-day Adventists go to church on Saturday because they believe it is the Sabbath day, as stated in the Bible, and they follow the example set by Jesus and his disciples.
