Grace Communion International. Formerly: Worldwide Church of God
On April 3, 2009, the Worldwide Church of God officially changed its name to Grace Communion International.
Throughout most of its history, the Worldwide Church of God - founded and led by Herbert W. Armstrong - was, theologically, a cult of Christianity.
However, starting in the mid 1980's under Joseph Tkach Sr, and later his son, Joseph Tkach Jr. -- the church's current leader -- the Worldwide Church of God underwent major changes in doctrine to the extend that is has rejected its heretical teachings, and instead has embraced orthodox Christianity.
