There are hundreds of offshoots and splinter groups from the WCG; therefore, it is impossible to list, or keep track of, all of them. Several of these groups below also include testimonies from former members.
“…Take heed that no man deceive you.” ~Matthew 24:4
“Salvation can not be found in any church. It can only be found in a Person–the Lord Jesus Christ.” ~Anonymous
