1. Seventh Day Baptist Church (DeRuyter, New York).
Seventh Day Baptist Church is a historic Baptist church located at DeRuyter, Madison County, New York. It was built about 1835 and is a two story, rectangular frame meeting house, sheathed in clapboard and with a gable roof. It features a small projecting pavilion on the front facade and a multi-stage centered steeple. The church membership decided to close in 1991 and the building was deconsecrated in 2000.

2. The Seventh Day Baptists.
The Seventh Day Baptists were first known as Sabbatarians, but the term Seventh Day Baptists was adopted by them in England soon after the Reformation. At what precise time the seventh-day observers took denominational form is not too definite. According to Ross's Picture of All Religions (quoted in Manual of the Seventh Day Baptists), they appeared in Germany and England early in the sixteenth century.
