Like Primitive Baptists, the Primitive Advent Christian Church uses the modifier Primitive to signify the idea that they represent the original teachings of the church. They differ from the parent body mainly in two points. They observe feet washing as a rite of the church, and they teach that reclaimed backsliders should be baptized (even though they had formerly been baptized). This is sometimes referred to as rebaptism.
Officers in the Primitive Advent Christian Church are pastors, elders and deacons. A conference for church business is conducted annually.
The church had 427 members in 9 congregations in 1990, all of which were located in central West Virginia.
