According to UCKG-owned RecordTV, in 2019 the church had more than 7,000 temples in 128 countries. Regardless of location, UCKG temples offer the same spiritual experiences aimed at overcoming common human deprivations: “lack or prosperity, lack of (mental) health, family and marriage problems, vices and insanity.” The church was founded on July 9, 1977 in Rio de Janeiro by bishop Edir Macedo, owner of the multi-billion television company RecordTV.

In 1999, it claimed to have 8 million members in Brazil and was already considered a "commercial church" and had established temples in the United Kingdom and, since 1992, in Africa and India, claiming a total of more than 12 million members worldwide that year. By 2013, the church had congregations in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, and—according to the website of the Universal Church in the United States—now has more than 300 congregations in 33 U.S. states. The church openly supports Brazil’s president [[Jair Bolsonaro]].
