About Us

What We Do

The Church of God is made up of many brethren, congregations, and organizations that share the same Biblical core beliefs, but often operate separately. While true spiritual unity comes from God, CGN helps create the space where fellowship, collaboration, and reconciliation can grow—serving as a neutral resource that helps brethren connect and work together without compromising doctrine or independence. We serve as a neutral, supportive resource that helps brethren:

• Connect across congregational and organizational lines.
• Serve one another in meaningful, practical ways.
• Collaborate in ways that reduce burdens and multiply impact.

The result: a stronger, more loving Church that reflects Christ’s prayer in John 17.

Our Focus

• Communication: Strengthening channels of contact and trust between believers and organizations around the world.
• Cooperation: Supporting shared efforts in service, fellowship, and Gospel preaching.
• Reconciliation: Building understanding and healing relationships where division or distance once existed.

Our Guiding Principles

• Voluntary Participation: No pressure, no compromise of doctrine or independence.
• Neutrality: We are not a church or membership organization. We don’t solicit tithes; we complement existing Church of God organizations.
• Service-Centered: Every program emphasizes God’s “give way of life” and meets real needs.

Our Approach

At its core, CGN is designed to chip away at isolation and disunity—not by force, or through merging, but through relationship. CGN’s model is simple and intentional:

1. Connection Enables Service
   Before meaningful collaboration can happen, brethren need to know each other. Disunity flourishes when brethren are unaware of each other and remain only names on a list—or worse, strangers altogether. CGN fosters awareness and connection across organizational lines—sharing who is out there, what their needs are, and how God is working in their lives. Awareness transforms isolation into recognition, and recognition opens the door for trust and service.
2. Service Builds Trust
   Disunity thrives when brethren remain isolated. Suspicion, miscommunication, and assumptions tend to fill the gaps where relationships are lacking. CGN 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.
3. 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.
4. Collaboration Reduces Burdens
   Church leaders and members often carry heavy workloads. CGN helps lighten the load through shared services, grants, and support programs. By coordinating efforts and reducing duplication, we save time and energy while strengthening existing organizations, freeing them to focus on spiritual care and Gospel preaching.
5. 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.
6. The Church Becomes United and More Effective
   The ultimate goal is not combining all organizations into one. The goal is voluntary, functional unity—brethren knowing one another, working together without losing identity, and rallying in times of need. CGN nurtures a culture of respect, cooperation, and shared purpose, helping the Church live out John 17 in practical, everyday ways.

Why It Matters

Disunity won’t vanish overnight, but step by step we can change the culture of the Church of God. When brethren know each other, help each other, and work together, the Church becomes stronger, more connected, and more prepared for the work ahead: serving the brethren, preaching the Gospel, and preparing for God’s coming Kingdom!

Together, let’s work toward a Church of God that looks and acts like the family God intended: 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:
