Sermon by Mr. Ken Frank (dve1383). The Living Church of God practices original Christianity and bases its beliefs on the Holy Bible, the inspired Word of God. Our doctrines and traditions have their roots in the Worldwide Church of God under the leadership of Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong, who in 1952, ordained Roderick C. Meredith as an Evangelist. In 2016, Dr. Meredith appointed Gerald E. Weston (our Presiding Evangelist) as his successor.
