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.

Last month in Palm Springs, California, a fertility clinic was bombed. The bomber perished in the bombing, and luckily, no one else did. As information began to filter out about the incident, we learned that the bomber was a 25-year-old who supported antinatalism.
The reason he was bombing a fertility clinic is because fertility clinics help people who have a hard time having a child. These clinics employ different methods to fertilize eggs and implant the egg back into a woman for the possibility of a future birth. The bomber was trying to destroy these future embryos. Fortunately, he was not successful in his plan.
