COMMISSION

Not a denomination. Not another organization. A fellowship of apostolic leaders on one mission — to evangelize our cities and nations with the supernatural power of God.

Why Movement

A church that stops moving starts dying.

Pray, believe, go, keep moving. CGIF carries that posture forward: a global family of leaders who keep their own denominational ties and are committed to growth by the power of the Holy Spirit.
