WHO WE ARE

Church of God in Ontario (COGIO) is the Regional Head Office of the Church of God in Eastern Canada.  A federally-registered Corporation, the organization is comprised of a network of eighty (80) churches, compartmentalized into seventeen districts, with close to 10,000 members dispersed across Eastern Canada. Located in Brampton Ontario, COGIO  traces its history  back to 1886, where the Church of God started in a meeting house located at Barney Creek in the mountains of Eastern Tennessee, United States. 

Our mission is to spread the full gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19,20), in the Spirit and Power of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4, 6, 13-18),  with emphasis upon God’s Word, Christian discipleship, servant leadership, ministerial development, lay ministry, family enrichment, world evangelism, biblical stewardship, church growth and church planting.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - COVID -1 9 

We wanted to share an announcement for our upcoming events in March, April, May and June. We will be cancelling all events in  accordance with the  government and  Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care's response/directive to our current crisis.  As a result, the following events are cancelled:
  • Women's Discipleship Conference - March 27-29 -  RESCHEDULED
  • Men's Resurrection Breakfast - April 11 - CANCELLED
  • Junior Talent Bible Competition - April 17-18 - CANCELLED
  • Junior Talent Competition and Awards - April 24-25 - CANCELLED
  • Revitalization Training  - May 22-23 - CANCELLED
  • Women's Prayer Breakfast - June  6 - CANCELLED​
We also take this time to stress that it is important that we follow the guidelines set by the government and Health Authorities in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.  For churches who do not have an online presence, we urge you to find a media avenue to connect with your churches on Sundays and for any other activities. Media such as Facebook Live and Zoom are popular platforms that many churches are utilizing. If you do not have any media platforms and need assistance setting one up, please contact the Regional office.  In the near future, the Regional Office through the Education and Ministerial Development Department will be arranging a Ministry and Media ZOOM Conference. Further information will follow.

I believe the Lord will bring us through this. Scripture reminds us that He is our refuge and present help in the time of trouble! Please continue to pray  for our  ministers, congregations, political leaders, front-line and emergency workers; especially those who are affected by the virus and against the virus itself. Thank you and please be safe!

God's Richest Blessings!
