Church of God (Anderson)

Church of God (Anderson) is a holiness and evangelical movement associated with Church of God Ministries in Anderson, Indiana.

It began in 1881 through the work of Daniel S. Warner and others in a holiness reform movement seeking Christian unity beyond denominational division.

It emphasises salvation, holy living, unity of the church, biblical teaching, mission, and the return of Christ. Its theology is historically Wesleyan-Holiness in background while retaining a distinctive anti-sectarian self-understanding.

Worship varies among congregations but commonly includes preaching, prayer, music, Baptism, communion, discipleship, and practical service.

The movement uses ministries, conventions, and networks rather than a strongly centralised denomination in the manner of many episcopal bodies.
