The Members Church of God International is an independent Christian organization with headquarters in the Philippines. The Church of God International is colloquially known through its flagship international television program, Ang Dating Daan (English translation: The Old Path). The church originally rooted from a similar denomination, the "Iglesia ng Dios kay Kristo Hesus, Haligi't Suhay ng Katotohanan" (Church of God in Christ Jesus, Pillar and Support of the Truth) which was registered by Nicolas Perez in 1936. The church has Restorationist characteristics in theme but denies being part of the Restoration Movement.
In 1980, Eliseo Soriano registered the group as "Mga Kaanib Iglesia ng Dios kay Kristo Hesus, Haligi at Saligan ng Katotohanan sa Bansang Pilipinas" (Members Church of God in Christ Jesus, the Pillar and Ground of the Truth in the Philippines) at the Philippines’ Securities and Exchange Commission with himself as its Presiding Minister.
The church has a Nontrinitarianism orientation, meaning that they reject the doctrine of the Trinity, which is considered is the central dogma of mainline Christianity, It is not related to the many Church of God groups that descended from the Barney Creek Meeting House revival of the late 19th century in the United States.

Famous quotes containing the words god, church and/or members:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“A Church which has lost its memory is in a sad state of senility.”
—Henry Chadwick (b. 1920)
“The English people believes itself to be free; it is gravely mistaken; it is free only during election of members of parliament; as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved; it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
