This is the Seventh-day Adventist Church's own official annual statistical report, presenting 2023 baptized membership data compiled by the Office of Archives, Statistics and Research and presented at the denomination's 2024 Annual Council. As the denomination's own official return it is the correct primary source for what the Church itself reports about its membership figures, in its own official accounting. Its limit is exactly that status, it is a self-reported figure produced by the organization it describes, so it should be read as the denomination's own account of its size rather than an independently audited external count, and a claim comparing Adventist growth against other denominations should note that different bodies may compile comparable figures using different methodologies.
