The Adventist church (Seventh-day Adventist Church) or "SDA" church was started in early 1800's during a reform movement of people from several Protestant churches. We became a formal church about 1865. The Adventist church has no official creed, but instead has a group of basic beliefs which can be changed or added to (at official church meetings) based on new light. Some of those basic beliefs are: we hold the Holy Bible as the word of God as expressed through the writings of His messengers. Our goal is to tell the Good news of the Gospel of Christ to the world before he returns. The Judgement is now underway, and when complete Christ will return. Before the wicked are cast into the fire they will be shown their lives and why they cannot enter the holy city.
"Adventist" refers to the second "advent" of Christ, the soon coming return of Christ A literal visible return and taking of the saints to heaven, including the resurrection of the righteous dead at that time and their joining with the saints and Christ in heaven. The wicked will die at his coming and they will not rise again until the end of the 1000 years when "Hell and Death will be cast into the lake of fire to be consumed." Sin and sinners will never again return they will be like "ashes under our feet" .
"Seventh-day" refers to keeping the Sabbath Holy, "Saturday - is the seventh day" as kept by Jesus and his disciples and still kept by other Sabbath keepers today, including, among others, Seventh Day Baptists, Church of God Seventh Day, and practicing Jews. We were introduced to the seventh-day Sabbath by a Seventh Day Baptist, Rachel Oakes. In many ways our faith is similar to that of Baptists and Methodists. Our early leaders were mainly Methodist. New light about the soon coming of Christ (thought to be in 1844) and in believers cleansing our lives from all sin brought reforms in clean living, healthful dress and diet as well as a renewed importance in keeping all the 10 Commandments, as given by God from the mount. A strong reform regarding Righteousness by Faith started in 1888, was renewed in 1988, and still continues today.

What percentage of Seventh-day Adventists believe in Ellen White?
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%.
