Canadian Church of God Ministries is part of the Church of God Movement, which began in the 1880s in the United States and has since spread over the world. The Church of God is distinguished by a major centre in Anderson, Indiana. The name "Church of God" was chosen due to its common use in the Bible about the church. 

​

The Church of God comes from the Holiness Movement, and we hold a commitment to seeking out what Christians have in common and building upon that rather than emphasizing differences.
