The roots of The Bible Sabbath Association go back to 1943 when a few Sabbath-keepers of different denominational backgrounds felt there was a need for closer fellowship among Sabbath believers without regard to personal convictions on other issues.  The association was organized in 1945, with founder George Main of Pomona Park, Florida, as the first secretary-treasurer.  In 1955, Lawrence and Lottie Burrell were elected secretary-treasurer; the offices were moved to Fairview, Oklahoma. The home office is located at Fairview, Oklahoma 73737. Requests for information, orders for literature, and offerings, should be sent to the business office at PO Box 7707, Bonney Lake, WA 98391.

The Bible Sabbath Association (BSA) is a strictly nonsectarian association with members from a wide variety of groups, including Seventh-day Adventists, Seventh Day Baptists, various Churches of God (Seventh Day), sacred name assemblies, charismatic groups, and others; some members have no church affiliation. 

BSA is not a denomination or church and does not seek to bring about mergers among various groups.   We believe there is strength in diversity and encourage Sabbath-keepers to seek fellowship with and to support their own individual churches or assemblies. 

BSA accepts as members all who acknowledge Jesus Christ (Yahshua the Messiah) as Savior, who regard the Bible as the inspired word of the Creator, and who uphold the seventh-day Sabbath.  BSA takes no official position on other theological issues.
