It was founded with the stated purpose of continuing Armstrong's teachings, which were re-evaluated and subsequently rejected by WCG after Armstrong's death, as it came to accept mainstream evangelical Christian teachings, such as the trinity. Armstrong had rejected the trinity doctrine in favor of the view that God is not one but 2 distinct God beings into which family, according to Armstrong, humans, "upon true conversion and spiritual growth", may be born.
