(CGM / CHOG) is a private non-profit religious organization headquartered in Anderson, Indiana, that operates as the central coordinating body for a global Pentecostal denomination founded in 1880.

Revenue is generated through donations and tithes (General Giving, Shared Giving, Designated Giving, the "ONE THOUSAND GIFTS" campaign), annual church registration fees, annual minister registration fees processed through Atlas, event registration, and affiliated entity programs. The organization is ECFA-accredited for financial accountability and GDPR-compliant in its privacy practices. Distribution occurs through the denomination's local congregations, regional/state ministry networks, and global missionary structures.
