Our Mission
To support the Church of God by helping brethren and organizations connect, serve, and collaborate.
Our Vision
Inspired by Christ’s prayer that His followers “may all be one” (John 17), we envision a Body of Christ where spiritual connection binds members together as family, transcending organizational boundaries and fostering mutual love and recognition. Where brethren from all Church of God groups work in love, understanding, and shared purpose toward the coming Kingdom of God—a community where fellowship flourishes, communication flows freely, and collective efforts reflect Christ’s call to unity.
What We Do
The Church of God, a spiritual Body grounded in the Sabbath, Holy Days, and other Biblical truths, too often functions separately—duplicating efforts, straining resources, and missing opportunities for connection. While true spiritual unity comes only from God, Church of God Network (CGN) helps the Body of Christ connect, serve, and support one another. We are a neutral, independent nonprofit that works alongside existing organizations. Our goal is to strengthen what already exists by making it easier for brethren, leaders, and congregations to find support, share resources, and collaborate.
What Makes CGN Different
We focus on practical help, providing resources, programs, and tools that lighten burdens and meet real needs. A key part of our work is intentionally building relationships across the Church of God—getting to know leaders, organizations, and brethren so we can connect needs with the right people and facilitate timely support. We do all this while: 1) upholding Biblical truth, 2) remaining neutral, 3) being respectful of organizational independence, and 4) avoiding duplication and competition.
Our Approach
CGN’s work is built around relationships. Because we invest in connecting with brethren and organizations across the Church of God, we can identify needs quickly, match them with the right people or resources, and help coordinate support. We don’t force unity or advocate merging organizations; instead, we foster practical, voluntary collaboration that makes it easier for everyone to serve, trust, and work together.
Through this relational model, CGN turns awareness into action—connecting people, facilitating service, and creating opportunities for collaboration that strengthen the Church of God community. Over time, these efforts naturally build trust and enable Spiritual unity, rooted in love, service, and shared purpose.
How We Serve
- Resources & Information: Maps, directories, calendars, and tools that make the Church of God easier to access, navigate, and engage with.
- Programs That Help & Serve: Grants, crisis support, administrative assistance, and content that strengthen organizations and brethren.
- Relationship Building: We actively cultivate connections across the Church of God that allow us to coordinate support, share opportunities, and respond when it matters most.
By connecting people, sharing resources, and facilitating service across the Church of God, CGN helps the community work together more effectively, care for one another more deeply, and grow stronger in trust, love, and shared purpose.
Who We Serve
God’s Church is made up of those who have God’s Spirit and are led by His Spirit (Romans 8:14). CGN does not seek to determine who specifically is “in” or “out” of the Church of God—only God has that authority. With this in mind, it is important to clarify the population we serve.
CGN recognizes that doctrinal differences exist among Church of God organizations and does not ask anyone to compromise on matters of faith. Yet we believe these differences need not prevent love, fellowship, and cooperation, provided there is agreement on the same core, distinctive understandings of God’s Word. If we discern, to the best of our ability, that others are part of the Body of Christ, Scripture calls us to be in relationship with them. Below are 11 central beliefs of the Church of God as revealed in Scripture, listed in no particular order of importance:
1. Christ’s Death & Resurrection
Christ’s death reconciled us to God (He was placed in the tomb in the late afternoon just before sundown on Wednesday and was in the tomb until Saturday at sunset – totaling 3 days and 3 nights), and His resurrection saved us from the penalty of the second death (once one accepts Christ as their personal savior).
2. Baptism
Total submersion water baptism and the laying on of hands is required to receive the Holy Spirit. A converted person is begotten at baptism and not “born again” until the resurrection. God’s Church does not practice infant baptism.
3. Repentance
Repentance is a necessity in the life of a Christian – both at (and leading up to) baptism and ongoing as one sins – in order to develop God’s holy, righteous character.
4. The Bible
The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God (the Old and New Testaments).
5. 10 Commandments
God’s 10 Commandments, including the 7th day (Saturday) Sabbath, are in effect.
6. God’s Annual Holy Days & Passover
The Passover and God’s Holy Days outline God’s plan of salvation and are required observances:
- Days of Unleavened Bread (first and last days are Holy Days)
- Pentecost
- Feast of Trumpets
- Day of Atonement
- Feast of Tabernacles
- The Eighth Day
7. Non-Observance of Holidays with Pagan Origins
The holidays associated with modern Christianity are influenced by pagan traditions and are not observed by the Church of God. This includes Easter, Christmas, and other similar religious observances whose origins do not derive from Biblical instruction. God specifically prohibits worshiping Him in ways other than those outlined in scripture.
8. No History of Unrepentant False Prophecies
While many Church of God organizations differ to some degree with regard to prophetic interpretation or speculative matters that aren’t clearly defined in scripture, some have a record of making specific, failed “prophecies” that they claim are directly from God (often in the form of setting dates/predictions and taking prophetic titles unto themselves) . Any organization with an unrepentant record of these false prophecies will not be considered part of the community that Church of God Network serves. Scripture is clear when it comes to false prophets (see: Deuteronomy 18:20-22, Jeremiah 5:30-31, Matthew 7:15-20)
9. This is Not the Only Day of Salvation
Today, God is only calling the “first-fruits” and none can come to Jesus Christ, and be genuinely converted, unless the Father draws that individual. Eventually, every human being who has ever lived will have their chance to be called by God. In addition, heaven is not the reward of the saved, and there is no eternal burning Hell. There is no immortal soul. Upon death one simply awaits the resurrection; there is no consciousness in the grave.
10. The God Family
The ultimate purpose for mankind is to become part of the God family. God is reproducing Himself through mankind. The God family currently consists of God the Father and Jesus Christ. This conviction prohibits both belief in the trinity and that Jesus Christ was a created being.
11. The Coming Kingdom of God
Jesus Christ shall return as King of Kings, and He will intervene to save mankind from self-destruction. Mankind cannot solve its own problems. God’s Government, established by Christ at his coming, shall rule directly over the nations to bring about lasting world peace.
