Wierwille was ordained as a minister in the [[Evangelical and Reformed Church]] (now part of the [[United Church of Christ]]). He maintained he had recovered the true apostolic understanding of Christianity that had been lost to the church. He later claimed God spoke to him personally, telling him he would teach him "the Word as it had not been known since the first century", so that he could pass it on to others.<ref name="Williams1979" />
