Expanded Fulltime Ministry: The Restored Church of God is experiencing unprecedented growth in membership! To address an ever-growing need to effectively serve God’s rapidly expanding flock, beginning September 1 a number of ministers will be hired and transferred across the United States and other parts of the world. By the end of 2010, there will be as many as 30-plus trained fulltime ministers in place. Maps below show the location of these pastorates across the globe.

New World to Come Studio Complete!

The World to Come program is now being produced in a newly redesigned studio. With a new introductory “network opening” and major improvements to both audio and video infrastructure, all future World to Come broadcasts will reflect a quality far exceeding our viewers’ expectations!

Watch for the striking new look in future broadcasts, to be posted weekly.

Member Services Updated: To assist the Church Administration Department in serving RCG’s membership, a renovated Member Services section of the website has been launched.

The most noticeable upgrade is the regular posting of videos. Starting this week, selected Ambassador Training Center lectures, Headquarters Bible Studies, Regional Ministerial Reports, lectures from Ambassador Youth Camp, and more will be posted for all RCG brethren to view in streaming video format. (Audio versions will also be available.) It is our hope that an updated Member Services will help members, especially those in more isolated areas, to feel more “connected.”

Later this year, Member Services will undergo an additional upgrade.

New RealTruth.org Site: After more than a year of development and testing, the new, vastly improved realtruth.org website is now live! The following list of new features will help visitors explore the redesigned site:

1. Every page features a more streamlined, user-friendly and attractive design. Enhancements are most noticeable on the homepage, archive pages and literature items.

2. The size of The World to Come video player has been expanded, enabling most users to watch broadcasts without needing to use the full screen. (The full-screen option is still available for those who prefer it.)

3. Videos, articles, “Personals” (editorials from the publisher/editor-in-chief), and full PDF issues of the magazine are featured on their own pages and offer users a wide and precise array of options.

4. The site now assigns a category to every “product,” allowing users to search, to group or to research particular subjects—and quickly access related items. We anticipate this will become one of the site’s most popular features.

5. Articles now feature much larger and more detailed images.

This is the briefest glimpse of the dramatic changes found on realtruth.org. Visit the site and see all that it offers!
