The Church of God, International (CGI) is a Binitarian Christian denomination based in the United States, an offshoot of the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) founded by Herbert W. Armstrong. It is one of many Sabbatarian Churches of God to separate from WCG.
- ^ Although an independent church, CGI belongs to a class of churches that prefer to refer to themselves generically as "Churches of God" or sometimes as the "Sabbatarian Churches of God". Some refer to them as Armstrongites, a term which is usually considered derisive. Other classifications which may apply would include Restorationist or Adventist. The Handbook of Denominations in The U.S., 13th Edition (Mead, Frank S, Hill, Samuel L., Atwood, Craig D, Abingdon Press, Nashville, [2010] pp. 244-246) classifies the United Church of God, an International Association as "Adventist". This is a church which also separated from the WCG and shares a great number of doctrinal similarities with CGI, particularly its Adventism.
