Ambassador College was the flagship institution of the Worldwide Church of God, an Adventist-inspired denomination founded by Herbert Armstrong. In 1934, Herbert W. Armstrong (1934-1986), a former advertising agent turned radio- and televangelist, founded the Radio Church of God, a radio ministry in Eugene, Oregon. Armstrong had formerly been ordained in 1931 by the Oregon Conference of the Church of God (Seventh Day), an Adventist group, but split with them in 1933. In 1947, Armstrong incorporated his California ministry, relocated the church's headquarters to Pasadena, California, and founded Ambassador College as the denomination's educational arm. In 1968, the movement was renamed the Worldwide Church of God (WCG). In 1956, Armstrong published 1975 in Prophecy!, a pamphlet that predicted catastrophic drought, famine, and epidemic disease in the United States between 1965 and 1972, as well as an upcoming nuclear world war instigated by underground German Nazis, the subsequent enslavement of Christians in Europe, concluding in the return of Jesus Christ.
