Iglesia ni Cristo

Iglesia Ni Cristo or INC is an international Christian denomination that originated in the Philippines. It was registered in 1914 by Felix Manalo, who became its first executive minister. By the time of Manalo's death in 1963, the Iglesia ni Cristo had become a nationwide church with 1,250 local chapels, and 35 large concrete cathedrals. His son Eraño Manalo became the next church leader and led a campaign to grow and internationalize the church until his death on August 31, 2009, whereupon his son, Eduardo V. Manalo, succeeded him as executive minister.
