INTRODUCTION

The beginning of SDA church in Bagonta-as started in 1946 which influenced and drew devoted and ordinary members. As far as Cebu, Antique and Misamis Oriental. The SDA church became the center core of the progress socially, economically and even politically in the Bagonta-as locality. Evangelistic activities marked the religious influence of Adventism in Bagonta-as (E Gauzon 2008)

Different evangelistic activities were marked of religious influence such as the building of the church, a nightly schedule of Bilble studies by some of the brethren, a Sabbath visitation or Branch Sabbath School, harvest ingathering and an establishment of school. Adventist influence developed during those times (E Gauzon 2008).

It continued on till these devoted group of early members also shared the group message to the unbelievers which many residents were interested to the Adventist faith.
