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.

What happened during the Bible’s “400 Years of Silence” between Malachi and the birth of Christ? This episode of Truth Unveiled explores the mysterious gap when God seemed silent—yet history reveals He was actively preparing the world stage. From empires rising and falling to the spread of Greek language, synagogues, and Jewish sects, every event set the perfect time for the Messiah’s arrival. Discover how God’s silence never means absence—and what that truth means for our world today.
In this episode of Armor of God Web Chat, Mike James and Jeff Reed explore whether God’s salvation is limited to a select group or offered to all humanity. Walking through Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, they show that God has never played favorites and has always included the nations in His plan. Addressing common objections and key verses, they demonstrate that Christ’s sacrifice was for the whole world—not just one lineage or ethnicity. It’s an encouraging, Bible-based look at God’s impartial love and His desire to save everyone who believes.
In this episode of Prove All Things, guest Robert Bates joins Jeff and Mike for a deep dive into the Name of God—why the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) appears thousands of times in the Hebrew Scriptures, why many English Bibles render it as “LORD,” and how Hebrew language and culture can add vivid depth to passages we already know. This is a thoughtful, Scripture-focused conversation that encourages reverence, humility, and “testing all things.”

One of the most popular scriptures supporting the idea that God cares about Gentiles as much as He cares about Israel is John 3:16. This scripture basically says that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life. When you put this together with all the scriptures we find in the New Testament, it seems very clear that God is not playing favorites.
But believe it or not, there are some people who believe in the Bible, and they take a different view about John 3:16. Groups like the Black Hebrew Israelites (BHI) and Calvinists.
