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.

He explores the Roman brutality, the spiritual depth of Jesus’ sacrifice, and the overlooked biblical clues that challenge traditional views of the crucifixion timeline. You’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation of Christ’s suffering—and why the “day of preparation” points to a Wednesday crucifixion, not Friday.
A shocking bombing at a fertility clinic has sparked discussion on antinatalism—the belief that having children is morally wrong because life is full of suffering.

In the beginning of the Church, back some 2,000 years ago, there was an awful lot of controversy surrounding this "Alien visitor" from another dimension of time and space. He was quite the disrupter of the status quo and caused a lot of questions with regard as to who this "Jesus" really was. Some even thought He was a prophet reincarnated from the dead to redress the times in which they lived.
Out of this visitation, many controversies and debates emerged, causing an enormous amount of "flurry" about His claims to be the Son of God. This spawned numerous heresies about His nature and just how could He be God's Son and human at the same time.
