WCG Statistics
In it latest email, WCG had a letter from its J. Tkach that stated the following:
Around the world, with Africa not yet reporting, 33 new elders were ordained in 2008, more than 500 new believers were baptized, and some 60 new churches and Bible studies were started. Africa’s report will probably more than double the baptism figures. We currently have a worldwide membership of about 42,000 meeting in more than 850 churches in more than 90 countries and territories.
WCG seems to have had membership statistics in this range the past few years.
A lot of the non-Church of God doctrines have been adopted by the Tkach WCG–hence their new “believers”, would do not seem to believe the original faith (cf. Jude 3).
Three articles of possibly related interest may include:
Hope of Salvation: How the Living Church of God differ from most Protestants How the Living Church of God differs from mainstream/traditional Protestants, is perhaps the question I am asked most by those without a Church of God background.
Is There “An Annual Worship Calendar” In the Bible? This paper provides a biblical and historical critique of several articles, including one by WCG which states that this should be a local decision. What do the Holy Days mean? Also you can click here for the calendar of Holy Days.
The History of Early Christianity Are you aware that what most people believe is not what truly happened to the true Christian church? Do you know where the early church was based? Do you know what were the doctrines of the early church? Is your faith really based upon the truth or compromise?
