The Advent Christian Church, also known as the Advent Christian General Conference (ACGC), is a "first-day" body of Adventist Christians founded on the teachings of William Miller in 1860. The organization's Executive Director is Reverend Steve Lawson, and its President is Reverend John Gallagher.[5]
Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, the functions of its central offices include global missions, leadership development, church health, church planting and management of organizational publications and media.[5] These ministries are under the leadership of the organization's Executive Director, Rev. Steve Lawson,[6] who is accountable to the organization's executive council. This council, a governing board made up of elected representatives from Advent Christian Churches,[7] is chaired by the organization's president, Rev. John Gallagher.[8]
In addition to the work of the central offices, more localized work is done in five regions of the U.S. and Canada under the direction of five regional superintendents,[9] as well as in several state conference bodies and in 30 countries around the world.
The organization holds to a congregational structure, in which each of its member churches and their members has input into the overall direction of the organization.[7]
