The Philadelphia Church of God was founded Dec. 7, 1989, in Edmond, Okla., by Gerald Flurry with 12 members and $80 cash on hand. Since then it has grown to encircle the globe, with members in 72 countries, offices on every continent, and has freely distributed over 50 million pieces of literature.
The church traces its roots to the Worldwide Church of God under its founder, Herbert W. Armstrong. In Mr. Armstrong’s tradition, the PCG publishes the Philadelphia Trumpet magazine in print and online and a weekly television program, the Key of David.
The church sponsors a summer camp for teens, Philadelphia Youth Camp, in the U.S., Australia and the Philippines and a youth magazine, True Education.
Through the Armstrong International Cultural Foundation, the PCG sponsors humanitarian and cultural projects such as an archaeological dig in Jerusalem and a world-class concert series in Armstrong Auditorium at its Herbert W. Armstrong College campus in Edmond.
