The United Seventh-Day Brethren is a small sabbatarian Adventist body.
In 1947, several individuals and two independent congregations within the Church of God Adventist movement came together to form the United Seventh-Day Brethren. The organization was effected in order to increase fellowship and to combine their efforts in evangelism, publications, and other ministries.
The United Seventh-Day Brethren shares traits with other Church of God Adventist bodies, but is quite distinct from most other
The Vision was once an official periodical of the United Seventh-Day Brethren. Now privately owned, it still reflects the beliefs of the church. In 1980, the General Association of United Seventh-Day Brethren consisted of four congregations, one each in Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma.
The Iowa congregation was located in Marion, Iowa with pastor W. Allen Bond. It was formed in the early 1960s and disbanded in the early 1980s
