About Us

About Church of God Network

Church of God Network is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping the Church of God community work together more effectively across organizational bounds —without compromising doctrinal integrity or organizational independence. We exist to foster meaningful connection, encourage collaboration, and provide practical support that allows God’s people to build trust, share resources, and serve one another more effectively — all to glorify Him.

We are not a church or membership organization. We do not solicit tithes, nor do we seek to merge organizations or create competition for resources. Instead, we aim to be a neutral, non-threatening, and supportive resource that complements the work of existing organizations. Our work is driven by the Biblical call to unity and a desire to be a positive force in helping the Church of God feel like the loving family it was always meant to be: informed, connected, and ready to rally together in times of need. We believe the Church of God is stronger when we know each other, help each other, and grow together.

Here’s how we’re putting our mission into motion—to build real, lasting, positive change together:

Imagine a family that shares the same fundamental beliefs, but many members barely know each other, rarely speak, and often duplicate efforts in isolation. That’s what the modern Church of God landscape can feel like—fragmented, overburdened, and sometimes distant, even though we are all part of the same Body of Christ. Church of God Network exists to help change that.

At its core, CGN is designed to chip away at disunity—not by force, or through merger, but by relationship. Here’s how our approach intentionally and practically addresses the problem:

1) Service Builds Trust
Disunity thrives when brethren remain isolated. Suspicion, miscommunication, and assumptions tend to fill the gaps where relationships are lacking.

Church of God Network begins with service—creating opportunities for brethren from across organizational lines to work together in tangible, meaningful ways. Whether it’s a local project, a shared resource, or support during a time of need, shared service breaks down walls and puts names and faces to fellow believers we may have only heard about.

Over time:

• Connections deepen through real-life interaction.
• Stereotypes and assumptions fade.
• Respect grows across organizational lines.

2) Trust Leads to Collaboration
When we know and trust one another, we become open to working together in more intentional ways. But trust only flourishes when it’s earned—not demanded.

CGN creates neutral, non-threatening spaces for collaboration—spaces where fellowships can connect around common goals without compromising doctrine or surrendering autonomy. By keeping our mission focused on cooperation rather than coercion, we invite participation from brethren who might otherwise remain disconnected.

As trust grows, so does the willingness to pool strengths and support one another across organizational boundaries.

Over time:

• Willingness to work together increases.
• Fear of “losing identity” decreases.
• A culture of unity through shared action begins to take root.

3) Collaboration Reduces Burdens
Many Church leaders and members carry heavy loads—balancing local needs, administrative tasks, spiritual care, and community outreach with limited time and resources.

That’s where CGN steps in practically. Through shared services, grants, and support programs, we help ease the strain by reducing duplication of effort and offering tools that strengthen—not replace—existing ministries.

By collaborating instead of duplicating, the Church saves time, conserves energy, and extends its reach.

Over time:

• Leaders gain breathing room and support.
• Administrative work becomes more efficient.
• Congregations can focus more fully on spiritual care and outreach.

4) The Work Is Empowered
When burdens are lightened and support structures are in place, God’s people are freed to focus on the mission.

CGN empowers individuals, congregations, and ministries by removing barriers to connection and offering ways to serve more effectively and stay better informed. Projects that once felt out of reach become attainable. Help that once seemed too far away becomes immediate.

With the right connections, tools, and trust in place, the work of the Church is no longer just sustained—it’s multiplied.

Over time:

• Kingdom-focused efforts gain momentum.
• Ministries expand their capacity.
• Innovation and energy increase across the Body.

5) The Church Is United and Effective
This is what unity in action looks like—not forced uniformity, but voluntary fellowship built on truth, love, and shared purpose.

CGN’s approach cultivates a Church environment where:

• Brethren know each other,
• Groups work together without losing identity,
• And members rally quickly in times of need.

It’s a vision rooted in John 17—a spiritually connected Body of Christ, thriving in cooperation, mutual respect, and collective impact. The Church becomes what it was always meant to be: informed, connected, and ready to glorify God as one.

Over time:

• • Unity becomes a lived experience, not just a theological concept.
  • Disunity is replaced by a spirit of family.
  • The Church of God becomes stronger, more loving, and more prepared for the work ahead.

Bottom Line: CGN Is Helping Change the Trajectory

Disunity won’t disappear overnight. But over time, CGN’s approach changes the culture. It helps build a Church environment that:

• Encourages mutual support,
• Normalizes collaboration across groups,
• And models what unity actually looks like in day-to-day Church life.

And the more people participate, the more momentum unity gains.

This is how the needle moves: by fostering love, trust, and shared mission among God’s people—one relationship, one act of service, one fellowship at a time.

The more we work together, the more effectively we can serve one another, glorify God, and prepare for His Kingdom—grounded in truth, driven by love, and united in purpose.

Let’s build it together.

Who We Serve

God’s Church is comprised of those who have God’s Spirit and are being led by His Spirit. Beyond that, CGN is not looking to define the Church of God. No one can determine who is in it and who is outside of it. That knowledge and judgement is God’s alone. With that in mind, it is important to clarify the population we serve.

CGN acknowledges the importance of the doctrinal differences between Church of God organizations and does not suggest that people compromise on matters of faith. Despite these differences, CGN believes there is common ground for fellowship and cooperation. God’s people share the same core, distinctive, fundamental understandings of God’s word. Below are 11 unique identifying beliefs of the Church of God as revealed in scripture. Though there are others, these are central. They are listed in no particular order of importance:
