The Philadelphia Church of God is a non-denominational Christian church that teaches the way of life described in the Bible. The church is made up of small congregations scattered all over the world with a small number of ordained ministers who travel frequently to serve their brethren, speaking and counseling from the Bible. Members of every age, race, educational and economic background meet together for weekly Sabbath services and occasionally for other get-togethers.
Members in the field are led by church headquarters in Edmond, Okla., where ministers from Mexico to South Africa to England to the Philippines meet semiannually on the church’s Herbert W. Armstrong College campus. There, the church also holds a summer camp for teens from around the world called Philadelphia Youth Camp. Edmond is also one of over 20 global sites that host the church’s annual autumn festival, where members reunite with each other and learn from Scripture.
