United Church of God touts its self as the true restored Church of God that holds fast to the truth of Herbert Armstrong. It does that while still living in the pre-1986 modus operandi of their former mother the Worldwide Church of God. As hard as they try, they cannot seem to make their brand of Armstrongism relevant to the world around them. Twenty some years on, even with countless personal appearance campaigns, the UCG is not able to draw people in, let alone keep their present members engaged.
Just take a look at their Feast attendance figures for 2015. 7,700 total people in attendance! This total is the equivalent of ONE medium sized WCG Feast site from the past. Large sites like St. Pete/Tampa would have 15,000+ during the WCG glory days! Jekyll Island would have 7-8,000+ when the WCG put it on...now UCG can only get 479 to attend! It would be laughable if it wasn't so pathetic!
