Church Government
Daniel Layne was held to be an Apostle in the Church of God (Restoration). He died at his residence in Upland, California, United States, on September 21, 2011. There is also a sizable General Ministerial Body, consisting of male and female ministers, who call themselves "The Seventh Trumpet Angel Ministry". Everyone who is saved and sanctified and is not in a second marriage can be a Minister based upon biblical teaching, as long as they feel called of God and have the approval of the Ministerial Body. There are currently approximately 70 ministers within the USA, Canada, and Mexico, with numerous ministers in the Philippines, Africa, India, Myanmar, and Nepal.

Famous quotes containing the words church and/or government:
“She say, Celie, tell the truth, have you ever found God in church? I never did. I just found a bunch of folks hoping for him to show. Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me. And I think all the other folks did too. They come to church to share God, not find God.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)
“I do love this people [the French] with all my heart, and think that with a better religion and a better form of government and their present governors their condition and country would be most enviable.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
