| Overview | Church of God (Anderson) is a holiness and evangelical movement associated with Church of God Ministries in Anderson, Indiana. |
| History | It began in 1881 through the work of Daniel S. Warner and others in a holiness reform movement seeking Christian unity beyond denominational division. |
| Beliefs and emphases | 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 and practice | Worship varies among congregations but commonly includes preaching, prayer, music, Baptism, communion, discipleship, and practical service. |
| Organisation and life | The movement uses ministries, conventions, and networks rather than a strongly centralised denomination in the manner of many episcopal bodies. |
