Founder
The COG-PKG is led by Ronald Weinland (born May 30, 1949), an American minister who served in the WCG from 1981 to 1995. When the church made major doctrinal changes after Herbert Armstrong's death in 1986, Weinland moved to the United Church of God (UCG). He served the UCG's Toledo, Ohio, congregation until 1997, when he departed after issuing an open letter to the church criticizing its management. In 1998, Weinland started publishing a newsletter called "News Watch", which ran for about four years and helped establish the prophetic themes of his later ministry.
