The Church of God (Restoration) is a Restorationist denomination of Christianity aligned with the theology of the holiness movement. Being a Restorationist denomination, it possesses unique doctrines. The Church of God (Restoration) was founded in the 1980s by American evangelist Daniel (Danny) Wilburn Layne.[1][2] Those who belong to the Church of God (Restoration) wear plain dress. Its members believe that they are ordained by both prophecy and divine command to restore the church of God as it was in the Book of Acts, and believe that it alone is the only true church.[3] Many of the church's teachings originated from the Church of God (Anderson), the Holiness Restorationist denomination in which Layne was raised.
