Welcome! We are the Churches of God, General Conference (CGGC)

Ours is a Jesus movement born in the fires of America’s second great awakening in the early nineteenth century. We believe Jesus came, died, and rose again for all people and that all people need an abiding relationship with him in order to truly live both now and for eternity. He promised abundant life to all who follow him, and it is our task as his followers to introduce people to him.

In short our mission is to make more and better disciples by establishing more and better communities of faith all over the world in his name. That was our agenda at the start and it is still our first priority today. As such the CGGC could be described as an evangelical, biblically based, mission focused family of churches

Our work in the states includes some 340 congregation spread from New England through the mid-Atlantic region across the upper mid-west and into the western states all the way to California and Hawaii. Our heartland is found in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois with headquarters in Findlay, Ohio. The University of Findlay and Winebrenner Seminary also located in Findlay are partner educational institutions.

Overseas we have mission work on every continent except Australia and Antarctica. The most extensive work is found in Bangladesh, Haiti, and India with emerging fields in Brazil, Dominican Republic, Kenya, Southwest-USA, Sweden, Thailand, and Venezuela. The overseas work includes educational, medical, and vocational aspects as well as church planting and discipleship.

A walk through of this website will soon reveal the extent of CGGC ministries today as well as the rich heritage of faith that is part of the story of God’s people on the move. God has done and is doing amazing things in and through the CGGC. We rejoice in your desire to know more about the CGGC; so, explore this site and if questions remain, feel free to contact us.

Blessing to you in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ,

Ed Rosenberry,
Executive director
