The Church of God (Anderson, Indiana) is a holiness Christian body with roots in Wesleyan pietism and also in the restorationist traditions. Founded in 1881 by Daniel Sidney Warner, the church claims 1,170,143 adherents. While having some characteristics of a denomination, the Church of God considers itself non-denominational.

One of its more distinctive features is that there is no formal membership, since the movement believes that true biblical salvation, which will result in a life free from sin, makes one a member. Similarly, there is no formal creed other than the Bible. Accordingly, there is much official room for diversity and theological dialog, even though the movement's culture is strongly rooted in Wesleyan holiness theology.

This church movement is not historically related to other Church of God bodies such as the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) or the Church of God (Charleston, Tennessee). Though these bodies are also holiness Christian in outlook, the Church of God (Anderson) does not share their Pentecostal practices. It is distinguished from these other churches by the location of its headquarters in Anderson, Indiana.

The Church of God of North America (www.chog.org) responded. By God's grace, Church of God people have donated their time, energy, and money to bring hope to the Haitians. The Church of God desires to transform culture by being the body of Christ, and through Strategic Value Two: Permeate! Engaging every individual, church, and agency in the Great Commandments (Matt 22:37-39), the Church of God is doing just that. Continue to pray for the nation and those who are so diligently working to show the love of God in action. All glory to God!
