The Church of God International (CGI) traces its origins to the Church that Jesus founded in the early first century. Membership in the CGI consists of "called out ones" from around the world practicing Christianity as initiated by Jesus and furthered by the early apostles. The church begun by Jesus, the very one He promised would survive through the centuries, is alive and well. Today, disciples live the faith "once delivered to the saints" in this twenty-first century (Jude 3). They obey the same message taught by Jesus Christ, and they proclaim the same gospel taken to the world by the disciples. Members value the witness and teachings of Jesus Christ as the church's work.
The CGI home office is in Tyler, Texas. Incorporated in 1978, CGI has ministers and congregations scattered throughout the United States and Canada . We also have churches in Kenya, Jamaica, the Philippines, Australia, the United Kingdom and a growing number of countries around the world.

With the recent rise in interest in Dominionist theology and Christian Nationalism in the United States, there has been an effort to redefine the term "Church," or ekklesia in the Greek. When you search this word in an authoritative source like the Bauer/Danker Greek and English Lexicon you find three primary definitions.
The first definition provided is a regularly summoned legislative body or assembly. The second definition is a casual gathering of people, an assemblage, or gathering. The third definition is people with a shared belief, a community, or a congregation.
