The Iglesia Ni Cristo Central Office is located on Commonwealth Ave., Diliman Quezon City, Philippines. It is a large complex which includes a chapel, hospital, the New Era high school and college, as well as the head offices of the Iglesia Ni Cristo.
A residence for the Manalo family, the scions of INC founder Felix Y. Manalo is also on the premises, but in an underground, undisclosed location due to threats.
The historical context of the IglesianiCristo lies in a period of the early 20th century characterised by a variety of rural anti-colonialism movements, often with religious undertones, in the Philippines.
According the 2000 census of the National Statistics Office, 2.3 percent of the population in the Philippines are affiliated with the IglesianiCristo.
However, the IglesianiCristo claims through biblical prophesies, that it was elected to be "the nation of God," as the Israelites were, and that God chose them to serve him.
The IglesianiCristo (INC, Filipino for Church of Christ) is a religion originating in the Philippines.
The IglesianiCristo has grown to become possibly the second-largest single Christian religion in the Philippines and has grown to thousands of congregations in over 84 countries and territories throughout the world.
The centraloffice is currently being administered by executive minister Erano G. Manalo and deputy executive minister Eduardo V. Manalo, who are the son and grandson of Felix Y. Manalo, respectively.
