The Member Churches of the Canadian Church of God are
affiliated with the
Churches of God Outreach Ministries.
The Churches of God Outreach Ministries
or CGOM for short is an
evangelistic organization with a mission to spread the good news of
God's soon coming kingdom to this earth and the eternal life that He
shall bring to all who will accept it.
CGOM and its Structure
The Churches of God
Outreach Ministries is a non profit organization developed by its
member churches as an association of independent yet interdependent
churches. Through this association the member churches are able to work
independently in their local areas and in partnership with one or more
of the other associated churches. Through this partnership the CGOM
members are able to combine their strengths and talents so as to be
most effective in large evangelistic efforts but also retaining the
ability to respond to the local needs of the member church communities.
CGOM and its History
The CGOM
association was formed on Sunday February 25, 1996 and further
organized at the "Churches of God Conference" in Tulsa, Oklahoma on the
weekend of April 12-14, 1996 . The founding member churches sent
representatives of ministers and elders to the conference with hopes
that God would lead this part of His church to greater work in the
gospel. It was at this conference that the spirit of the CGOM
association was formed although a name for this group of associating
churches was not developed until a later conference.
