The Philadelphia Church of God (PCG) is an international church based in Edmond, Oklahoma. PCG traces its roots to the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) founded by Herbert W. Armstrong and teaches a "new revelation" which its founder, Gerald Flurry, says God has shown to him from the Bible since Armstrong's death. It was founded with the stated purpose to continue Armstrong's teachings, which were repudiated by WCG after its founder's death in 1986, as it embraced Christian beliefs like the Trinity that had formerly been rejected.
PCG, as one of the Sabbatarian Churches of God (COG), states that it is attempting to carrying on Armstrong's legacy after the doctrinal changes made by new WCG leaders Joseph W. Tkach and his son Joseph Tkach Jr.

Famous quotes containing the words philadelphia, church and/or god:
“It used to be said that, socially speaking, Philadelphia asked who a person is, New York how much is he worth, and Boston what does he know. Nationally it has now become generally recognized that Boston Society has long cared even more than Philadelphia about the first point and has refined the asking of who a person is to the point of demanding to know who he was. Philadelphia asks about a man’s parents; Boston wants to know about his grandparents.”
—Cleveland Amory (b. 1917)
“Now, honestly: if a large group of ... demonstrators blocked the entrances to St. Patrick’s Cathedral every Sunday for years, making it impossible for worshipers to get inside the church without someone escorting them through screaming crowds, wouldn’t some judge rule that those protesters could keep protesting, but behind police lines and out of the doorways?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)
“So that the clerkes be nat with me wrothe,
I saye this, that they been maad for bothe—
That is to sayn, for office and for ese
Of engendrure, ther we nat God displese.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
