Behind the Work

Behind the Work

God’s Work today is backed by a spiritual family of approximately 5,000 Philadelphia Church of God members and many more thousands of co-workers. The primary focus of a true Christian’s life is to contribute to the Work in any way possible, in the process preparing to teach the entire world in the near future. Tune in each Monday at 12 p.m. Central time for a behind-the-scenes look at the vibrant and exciting Work of the living God through interviews, feature stories, updates and statistical rundowns. With the help of the Autobiography of Herbert W. Armstrong, you will also learn how the Work of God today relates to the spectacular, miraculous, five-decade work of the end-time Elijah.

The late Herbert W. Armstrong led God’s Work through an “austere year” in 1963—a year of measured, controlled growth that didn’t plunge the Work into debt. We all can take lessons from this austere year—how to measure ourselves for past and present growth while setting reasonable goals for future growth.
