Serving People. Building Churches.

 What is the mission of Cosmopolitan Fellowship of Churches International (CFCI)? 

CFCI is to provide an apostolic covering and accountability foundation for pastors, ordained elders and ministers as well as their churches and/or ministries. Empowerment, education and the equipping of each covenant pastor is based on established and growing relationships. These relationships are accomplished through regularly scheduled meetings where biblical teaching, personal prayer and fellowship are encouraged. This system of voluntary submission, cooperation and mutual accountability provides a safety net for pastors and ministry leaders while allowing the local church to maintain its autonomy and to govern itself according to its own constitution and by-laws. 

​

What is the vision of CFCI? 

• CFCI is an ecumenical fellowship for churches and ministries that seek covering and connection. 

 

• CFCI exists to provide current and cutting-edge resources to churches and ministry leaders with prayerful,          yet practical strategic church growth principles. 

 

• CFCI exists to deliver Spirit-filled personal and professional leadership development principles to visionary       and volunteer leadership. 

 

• CFCI exists to foster authentic and genuine covenant relationships for global visionaries, local pastors and ministry leaders. 

 

Why was CFCI formed? 

CFCI was formed primarily to provide pastors and ministry leaders with a covering and accountability structure. The fellowship

is open to both Church of God in Christ (COGIC) and non-COGIC churches and ministries. CFCI’s main intention and objective is to prayerfully become an official and established COGIC jurisdiction. CFCI is also dually committed to remaining a constant covering for those churches and ministries that choose not to seek membership with the Church of God in Christ providing equal resources and access to all. 

​

***It is fully understood that the process of becoming a recognized and official jurisdiction in the Church of God in Christ is solely contingent upon the approval of the General Board and General Assembly and that there is no definite time frame of this possible approval process.
