The Church of God and Saints of Christ

First Published in 1994. The Church of God and Saints of Christ was founded in Lawrence, Kansas on November 5, 1896 by William Saunders Crowdy. During the first forty-five years of his life, Crowdy was a Baptist, however, in 1892, he began to have visions about establishing the true church. Since its initial formation in Kansas, the Church of God and Saints of Christ has spread widely in the United States and abroad, Its most unusual feature of the faith is its synthesis of Jewish and Christian elements.
