About Us

Our Mission

To help build community within the Church of God by connecting brethren, easing administrative burdens, and creating opportunities to serve—all while honoring Biblical truth and respecting organizational autonomy.

Our Vision

We envision a thriving, united Church of God community—one where fellowship is abundant, communication flows openly, and members from all Church of God fellowships come together in harmony and mutual respect. Inspired by scriptures such as John 17, where Christ prayed that His followers “may all be one,” our vision is a spiritually connected Body of Christ that works cooperatively toward the coming Kingdom of God. We seek to create an environment where understanding, love, and shared purpose fuel our collective efforts.

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. We work toward this goal by offering services, grants, programs, and resources that reduce administrative burdens, support leaders, and create opportunities for brethren to build relationships across organizational lines. Our approach allows the full strength of the Church—financially, administratively, and spiritually—to be better leveraged in service to God’s people.

Through our programs, we help eliminate duplication of effort, ease the load on ministers, and create practical ways for brethren to stay informed, share resources, and rally together in times of need. 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.

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.

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:

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:

  1. Days of Unleavened Bread (first and last days are Holy Days)
  2. Pentecost
  3. Feast of Trumpets
  4. Day of Atonement
  5. Feast of Tabernacles
  6. 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.
