Armstrongist churches
Armstrongist churches are religious groups that trace their origins to the teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong, who founded the Worldwide Church of God in the 1930s. These churches emphasize a unique interpretation of the Bible, including beliefs in the literal observance of Old Testament laws, the rejection of traditional Christian doctrines like the Trinity, and the importance of prophecy. After Armstrong's death in 1986, many offshoots emerged. While some have maintained strict adherence to his teachings, others have adapted or reinterpreted them. Armstrongism is known for its distinct identity within the broader Christian landscape.
