Welcome to the Web site for the Church of God, an International Community. This site has been created to provide information and assistance for members and supporters of the Church. Here you will find the current issue of the Church's newsletter, The Church of God News, along with other information about Church services and activities.

The Church of God, based in Pasadena, California, traces its antecedents to Sabbatarian roots in 17th-century Europe, and before that to the first-century Christian church at Jerusalem. Accordingly the Church endeavors to uphold the original practice and teachings of Jesus Christ and His followers. The Church of God has members all around the world and offices in Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, the Philippines, South Africa, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The Church focuses on seeking the maximum opportunities to preach the good news of the Kingdom of God in all the world as a witness (Matthew 24:14), and on taking care of those God calls into becoming part of His family, which is a Spirit-led community (Matthew 28:18-20).

The Church publishes the quarterly, Vision, which examines the complex social, moral and philosophical issues facing the world today from a biblical and historical perspective. It aims to present the Bible as a credible source of solutions to the problems the world faces. In doing so, it challenges many teachings of traditional Christianity, maintaining that its churches have forgotten the roots of Christianity and ignored much of Jesus Christ's belief, practice and teaching.

Vision is on-line at www.vision.org with articles addressing current events and issues of the day, as well as insightful interviews with leaders who shape society.
