Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Grace Communion International formerly the Worldwide Church of God, is an evangelical Christian denomination based in Glendora, California, United States. Since April 3, 2009, it has used the new name Grace Communion International in the US. The GCI claims 42,000 members in 900 congregations in about 90 countries as of April 2009 and is a member of the National Association of Evangelicals. Founded in 1934 by Herbert W. Armstrong as a radio ministry named Radio Church of God, the WCG under Armstrong had a significant, and often controversial, influence on 20th century religious broadcasting and publishing in the United States and Europe, especially in the field of interpreting biblical end-time prophecies. Within a few years after Armstrong's death in 1986, the succeeding church administration, led first by Joseph W. Tkach, Sr. and then his son, Joseph Tkach, Jr., transformed the denomination's doctrines and teachings to be compatible with mainstream Christianity. As a result, the WCG experienced schisms when some members and ministers formed churches that conformed to most, if not all, of Armstrong's teachings
