Members Church Of God International

What Members Church Of God International does

Members Church of God International (MCGI) is a Philippines-registered religious non-profit founded in 1980, headquartered at the ADD Convention Center in Apalit, Pampanga. The organization operates the Ang Dating Daan ("The Old Path") radio program (since 1980) and television program (since 1983), recognized as the longest-running religious program in the Philippines, and conducts live Worldwide Bible Expositions featuring Q&A with its leaders. Content is distributed globally via 7 satellite providers across 6+ continents, supplemented by websites (mcgi.org, angdatingdaan.org, theoldpath.tv), a suite of language-localized YouTube/Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/TikTok accounts (Filipino, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, French, Chinese, Japanese, Malay, Hindi, Nepali, Tok Pisin, among others), and a Digital Bible mobile app launched on July 1, 2022 supporting offline reading in multiple languages.

MCGI is funded entirely through voluntary member donations and tithes, with all religious content, charitable services, and educational programs provided free of charge. Its service portfolio includes La Verdad Christian College (free higher education, founded 2009, two branches), La Verdad Diagnostics Center (free medical diagnostics, inaugurated December 15, 2017), the MCGI-UNTV 24-Hour Digital Clinic (free telehealth since March 2020), Free Store, Feeding Program, Wish Granting Program, Infant Care, Orphanage and Elder Care, and Disaster Relief. The organization is acknowledged by the Philippine National Red Cross as the number one blood donor in the Philippines and coordinates with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for child welfare programs.

The church's go-to-market is event-driven and community-led: growth is generated through mass indoctrination sessions leading to mass baptisms, Bible Expositions connected by satellite to coordinating centers worldwide, and volunteer missionaries deployed across Asia, North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Oceania. Following the passing of founder Bro. Eliseo F. Soriano on February 10, 2021, leadership is held by Bro. Daniel S. Razon as Overall Servant; Bro. Razon also serves as CEO and President of UNTV, MCGI's primary broadcast partner, and as founder of Breakthrough and Milestones Productions International (BMPI), the content and marketing firm for UNTV. Reported engagement metrics include 500,000+ YouTube subscribers and approximately 30,000 devices tuning in nightly to webcast Bible Studies during the COVID-19 pandemic.

• Joel Osteen / Lakewood Church: One of the largest US televangelism ministries with global broadcast reach and donation-funded operations. Closest analog to MCGI's personality-led, broadcast-driven religious content model and large-scale donation model.
• Hillsong Church: Global megachurch with multi-continent campuses, large broadcast/digital reach, and youth-focused worship programming. Comparable in scale of global brand and media-driven member engagement, though Protestant evangelical rather than the doctrinal position of MCGI.
• TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network): One of the world's largest religious broadcast networks with global satellite reach and donation-funded operations. Analogous in televangelism scale, satellite distribution, and member-supported nonprofit structure.

Emerging players

• Christ Embassy: Global Charismatic Christian ministry with strong digital presence, multi-continent broadcast operations, and large social media following. Comparable digital-first evangelization approach and global youth engagement model.

Regional players
