world mission society church of god

The church was founded in South Korea on April 28, 1964 by Ahn Sahng-hong, and its name is the Church of God Jesus Witnesses. After Ahn Sahng-hong died in February 1985, a group of people in Church of God Jesus Witnesses including the man Kim Joo-cheol[a] and the woman Zahng Gil-jah wanted to re-introduce the concept of a "spiritual mother", and on 22 March 1985 moved from Busan to Seoul.[5][6][7] On a meeting in Seoul on 2 June 1985, they discussed how to call Zahng Gil-jah,[8] and established a church called Witnesses of Ahn Sahng-hong Church of God. Two major new doctrines were codified[9][10]
