Become a CGN Local Contact
Are you ready to play a role in building a stronger, more connected Church of God community? As a CGN Local Contact, you’ll serve as a local connection point for CGN—fostering fellowship, service, and connection among God’s people. Local Contacts should be enthusiastic, positive individuals who focus on serving humbly and without expectation. The goal is to build a wide-reaching informational network that helps serve brethren, making the flow of information faster, clearer, and more effective.
Each Local Contact chooses their role from one (or more) of four categories:
-
Informational – Serve as a trusted link, sharing updates and needs from your local area with CGN and occasionally relaying information from CGN back to your community.
-
Visitor – Encourage and visit brethren—newcomers, shut-ins, or isolated members—coordinating with CGN and local leadership for safety.
-
Event Planner – Host or coordinate gatherings to bring brethren together.
-
All of the Above – Take on the full scope of responsibilities.
Responsibilities
-
Connect Across Congregations: Visit at least two other groups each year or help facilitate informal gatherings.
- Stay Informed: Keep an eye out for opportunities where CGN can help, and stay connected with local brethren to be a trusted source of information and support.
-
Respond to Inquiries: Be the local point of contact, backed by CGN support.
-
Stay Connected: Join regular check-ins with the CGN team and quarterly group calls.
General Guidelines:
- Coordinate Visits: Always get permission before visiting other congregations and coordinate with your home leadership to ensure there are no conflicts with your local responsibilities.
- Serve: Look for ways to help during visits—your willingness to serve is appreciated.
- Respect Leadership: Approach visits as a guest and honor the authority and guidelines of local leadership.
- Build Friendships: Use visits to connect with others and form lasting relationships.
