History
Herbert W. Armstrong founded the Radio Church of God in Eugene, Oregon, and broadcast church services. In 1968 it was renamed the Worldwide Church of God. Its key teachings were a rejection of the doctrine of the Trinity and various attempts to predict the date of the second coming of Christ. It also emphasised full immersion baptism. In 2007 its name changed to Grace Communion International.
