Church of God (Restoration)
The Church of God (Restoration) is a anti-sectarian Christian movement with roots in the holiness movement and Evening Light Reformation of whom D.S. Warner was one of the leading ministers in the late 1800's.
This body attempts to closely follow the teachings of the Bible. They believe that God is restoring the church in this present time. The Book of Revelation is extensively studied and they have claim to have extensive understanding of it.
The Church of God has congregations worldwide and is very active in outreach and mission work. They are very willing to travel long distances to reach people in need.
The doctrines of the church are similar to those of the Church of God (Anderson, Indiana), movement in it beginnings but with stronger emphasis on separation and holiness. Sanctification is held as a second work of grace after justification by faith. They teach strongly that God's will is to unite His people one more time before He returns to take them home. They invite all saved people to attend and have no formal membership. Every bloodwashed person is a member.
The Gospel Trumpet is a semi-monthly publication of the church. It is distributed free of charge to over 50 countries worldwide.
