The Church of God (Jerusalem Acres)

The Church of God is a holiness Pentecostal body that descends from the ''Christian Union'' movement of Richard Spurling, A. J. Tomlinson and others. They consider themselves officially ''The Church of God'', but also designate themselves as ''The Church of God (1957 Reformation)'' and ''The Church of God (Jerusalem Acres)'', which is the name of their headquarters.
==History==
''The Church of God at Jerusalem Acres'' shares its early history with the Church of God of Prophecy. After A. J. Tomlinson formed the ''Church of Prophecy Markers Association'' in 1941, he appointed Grady R. Kent head over it in 1943. After Tomlinson's death, his son Milton was appointed General Overseer, but Kent remained a forceful preacher and influential leader. In 1948, the ''Church of God of Prophecy'' adopted a resolution making the ''General Assembly'' the highest authority in the church. This helped set the stage for division. Some members within the church accepted the practice of "theocratic government", with the Bishop or General Overseer ruling the church.
In 1957 Grady R. Kent went out of the ''Church of God of Prophecy'' and formed ''The Church of God'', which adopted its name in 1958. The church was "reorganized" in Cherokee, North Carolina on February 17, 1957. On August 1, 1958, a seven-acre (28,000 m²) tract of land was purchased in Cleveland, Tennessee, and the church undertook a project similar to the ''Fields of the Wood'', which is owned by the Church of God of Prophecy. Great authority was placed in "theocratic government" and the "Chief Bishop", who was responsible for ruling the church. Bishop Kent died on March 31, 1964 of cancer of the nose. He refused medical treatment for the cancer until just before death, preferring to rely on a prayer vigil conducted by a rotating team of his 12 Appostles. Several other Bishops have presided over the church since then, and in 1996, another split happened with Bishop John A Looper leaving the church after disagreements over doctrinal issues. Bishop Samuel Kramer is the current "Presiding Bishop" (they no longer use the term "Chief Bishop"). Under his leadership, the church has fully returned to a Sabbath-keeping service schedule which had largely been abandoned under Looper's administration. The church has expanded and continues to grow in Haiti, Liberia, Zambia, Mexico, Tanzania, India, and the Philippines.
