Our History

The Church of God (Anderson, Indiana) began in 1881 when Daniel S. Warner and several associates felt constrained by the denominational hierarchies of the day and chose to pursue a movement to restore unity and holiness to the church (known as the Holiness Movement). Deeply influenced by Wesleyan theology, he began publishing the “Gospel Trumpet” for all believers and was soon invited to Ontario, Canada to speak. There, the Church of God in Eastern Canada was born.

At present, there are 22 congregations across Western Canada. Each congregation is autonomous in its ministry and governance with organizational and spiritual support from the regional leadership team at CCOG.
