The Church of God of Prophecy is a Pentecostal Holiness Christian non-denomination. It is one of five ''Church of God'' bodies headquartered in Cleveland, Tennessee that arose from a small meeting of believers who gathered at the Holiness Church at Camp Creek near the Tennessee/North Carolina border on Saturday, June 13, 1903.〔The five Church of God bodies are ''Church of God (Charleston, Tennessee)'', whose offices are located in Cleveland, but whose mailing address is Charleston; ''Church of God (Cleveland)''; ''Church of God of Prophecy''; ''The Church of God (Jerusalem Acres)''; and ''The Church of God for All Nations''〕 The Church of God of Prophecy has congregations and missions in over 130 countries, with a membership of over 1,500,000 〔(History the Church of God of Prophecy ), Church of God of Prophecy website, accessed Aug 10, 2008〕 In 2006, membership in the United States was 84,762 in 1,871 Churches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 2008 ''Yearbook of American & Canadian Churches'' )〕 Ministries of the Church include homes for children, bible training institutes, youth camps and ministerial aid. The Church operates (Fields of the Wood ), a Bible theme park and popular tourist attraction, near Murphy, North Carolina. ==History== The Church has, in the past, internally referred to itself as "Church of God" in its worship services. Many past official records utilized that name with the parenthetical qualifier of "(Cleveland, Tennessee)". However, the more generic moniker fell out of common official use many decades ago. There was controversy over which side of the division had the legal right to the name and who was really the true "Church of God". This (COGOP) body was definitely a part of the original "Church of God", over which originally A. J. Tomlinson was the General Overseer. In 1923, these two churches became divided over denominational government and financial issues. In 1952 after lengthy litigation over the use of the simple name "Church of God", a court in Bradley County, Tennessee, ordered that the Church of God of which A. J. Tomlinson is Overseer be called 'Tomlinson Church of God'. The Church renamed itself the 'Church of God of Prophecy'.〔The Holiness-Pentecostal Movement in the United States. V. Synan - 1971 - Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing …〕 Both groups claim the same history up to the year 1923.
