Introduction
Ever since the World Mission Society Church of God was established in Korea in 1964, the truth spread rapidly throughout the country. In just over 30 years, the Church of God spread overseas. It did not remain in Korea, but spread all the way from the East to the West to the North Central Region.
Starting in Illinois, the church began to branch out from city to city, and even from state to state. Now, there are 8 states in the North Central Region with multiple Church of God locations.
The church continuously branches out throughout the Chicago and Midwest region. The World Mission Society Church of God is the only church on earth established by God Himself.
