United Church of God

Common card · No. 465137

The United Church of God, an International Association (UCGIA or simply UCG) is an American-based restorationist and nontrinitarian Christian (Armstrongite) international religious organization formed in 1995 following a schism within the Worldwide Church of God (now Grace Communion International). The UCG identifies as "The United Church of God, an International Association", with the last three words italicized in order to differentiate the UCG from local congregations and denominations which bear similar names. The UCG was organized in 1995 by a group of churches that had been part of the Worldwide Church of God which rejected instuitional and doctrinal reforms in the years following that church's founder Herbert W. Armstrong's death in 1986. The UCG holds doctrines and beliefs similar to those taught by Armstrong, which include strict Sabbatarianism, British Israelism, Binitarianism, and restorationism, collectively known as Armstrongism.
