  • The United Church of God, an International Association (UCGIA) is a Christian denomination based in the United States with members in various countries around the world. The UCGIA calls itself "The United Church of God, an International Association", with the last three words italicized in order to differentiate the UCGIA from local congregations and denominations which also bear the name of the United Church of God. The UCGIA states the following as a commission: "We trace our origins to the Church that Jesus founded in the early first century. We follow the same teachings, doctrines and practices established then. Our commission is to proclaim the gospel of the coming Kingdom of God to all the world as a witness and teach all nations to observe what Christ commanded . " UCG is an offshoot of the Worldwide Church of God, which was originally incorporated in the 1940's as the Radio Church of God by its founder, Herbert W. Armstrong. After Armstrong's death, the subsequent WCG leadership introduced a series of major doctrinal changes which substantially altered the fundamental beliefs and goals of the original Worldwide Church of God. A segment of the membership wished to retain Herbert Armstrong's theology and teachings (which is known by non-adherents as "Armstrongism") and left WCG to start their own organizations. The United Church of God was established in May of 1995 and is the largest of these offshoot organizations.
