Our History

For over 125 years the Church of God has been a distinctive movement focused upon communicating the gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit. Presently, the Church of God has a world-wide membership of over 7 million with a presence in nearly 180 countries.

Our church in Redding, CA was founded in 1983 by our Pastor Emeritus Bill Phillips.  Ground breaking for our current building started in 1985 and was finally established in 1990.

Since its beginning, the Church of God has been a, “movement", a moving church with a mission of ministry to the world. In this new millennium, God is leading the Church of God as a global movement prepared to meet the demands and challenges of ministry in the 21st century.

The Church of God consists of people just like you. Every person who attends a Church of God function, event or local congregation is recognized as a valuable member of the church body.
