Tom Justus
Second Vice President

Tom Justus started attending the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) in August, 1955, in Pasadena California. It was then called the Radio Church of God. At this time he was living in Santa Barbara and was manager of Pacific Coast Publishing Company.

In late 1959 he helped raise up a WCG church in Santa Barbara. He was ordained as an Elder in the early 60's. In 1963 he moved to Pasadena to oversee the building of Ambassador College Press. Later he made trips to England to help build a printing plant there and travelled in many foreign countries buying equipment for both plants. While being a manager of Ambassador College Press, he continued in the Ministry giving sermons in the Churches in Southern California. In 1978 he left the WCG and started the first church in Pasadena for Ted Armstrong. He continued in this capacity until late 1979, deciding to move to Springdale, Arkansas, to build his own printing plant.

After moving to Arkansas, he continued to work with the Church of God, International (CGI), and continued to be on the Ministerial Council until resigning in 1996. During this period of time he established a CGI church and pastored it while also working full time in his printing plant. After resigning from the CGI in 1996, he formed a small independent church called the Church of God, Sabbath Day, in Springdale. He now has a booklet ministry which reproduces basic doctrine booklets dating back to the late 40's and early 50's. These are sent free in bulk quantities to all who would like to use them in their local evangelism. He makes many personal appearances across the country promoting the Sabbath and the simplicity in Jesus Christ.
