Mission
The mission of the Church of God (Seventh Day) International Federation is to achieve, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, its stated vision and purpose through an administrative structure that is defined by Godly leadership, measurable goals and objectives, clear communication, a sustainable financial model, with innovation and creativity. In an environment of trust, mutual accountability, and a commitment to assist, encourage, and understand one another, the Federation prayerfully embraces Jesus' heart for the church He is building-in reconciling lost humanity to God, through Jesus' blood for the glory of the Father to the ends of the earth. The purpose of the Church of God (Seventh Day) International Federation is to facilitate the development, unity and growth of its churches and conferences around the world, forming them into a cohesive and vibrant Christ-community.
What it reported doing in 2025
The board of directors, zone representatives, delegates from member conferences and key leaders joined together semi-annually via Zoom for fellowship, worship, development of unity in doctrine, direction in evangelism, keys to improving member conferences organizational structural integrity, reviewing available educational opportunities for the members of member conferences, leader development, and receiving input to learn what other needs the member conferences and their members are experiencing. This sometimes involved action items and travel for leaders to further understand critical opportunities and barriers to achieve the vision, purpose, and mission of the organization for its members.
