"We love Him because He first loved us" --1 John 4:19
CHARITABLE MINISTRIES
GLOBAL MINISTRY
Our Global Council of Overseers assist church to church ministry for the betterment of the world.
That mission is a continuation of Apostle Paul’s efforts to assist weaker churches by stronger assemblies and vice versa. See for example 2 Corinthians 8:13–15, 9:8-11; 1 Corinthians 16:1-3, 13-16.
This Global Council from Christ (GCC) within the Christian Church of God from Jerusalem (CCGJ) continues thereby to achieve our global commission to spread the Good News for reconciliation to God, and eternal salvation from God by Christ, to expand worship, discipleship, and Church building.
GCC’s primary service is church to church oversight ministry, equitable distribution of resources, and maintenance of Bible-based teachings integrity.
This achievement is prevailing during the coming mediating celestial Kingdom of God, even between the coming new heaven and earth. See for example, John 18:33-37; Revelation 1:1-5, 4:4; Daniel 7:9-10, 13–14, 18, 26-27 (Revelation 21:1 – 22: 16).
LOCAL MINISTRY
Each local assembly from us varies in size, services, and character, but all have a common Biblical foundation and set of goals. Those shared Biblical aims include maintaining the earliest Biblical monotheistic theology for correct worship. Additionally, they embrace a Biblical Jewish historical cultural context but with New Covenant modifications, such as to assembly structure and order to reach and serve the world for God; such structure and order is balanced by an emphasis on love, discipline, and spiritual freedom to praise and celebrate God's saving grace with festivities, gratitude, and worship.
All members aim to help maintain original theology, worship, and organization from the days of Christ and his disciples from God.
We help churches develop anywhere on the earth, even within high security prisons.
If you believe in Jesus Christ, it’s easy to start a local CCGJ-GCC Assembly: just begin a prayer group, fellowship or Bible Study group, then contact us with your questions.
FOREIGN AID AND PRISON MINISTRIES
Prisons and underdeveloped countries are inhabited by offenders, often the underprivileged, malnourished, undereducated, addicted, excessively selfish, or disabled, and have generally been considered by some in their society as the least valuable. Jesus, the Son of God, said, “Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did to one of the least of these who are my disciples, you did to me.” — His gospel wisdom through disciple and book of Matthew at chapter 25:40, in the Holy Bible.
We have members committed to improving those conditions. The Holy Spirit and Word of God giving rise to the Christian Church of God from Jerusalem as a formal legal entity in the United States of America began through former criminals in high security prisons who were delivered by God through Christ.
Among them were formerly accused armed robbers, rapists, and murders. God moved in their lives. He improved them. He improved others by them.
For historically, there has been times when “God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty, and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, so that no flesh should glory apart from Him in His presence.” — Holy Spirit wisdom through Apostle Paul, in 1 Corinthians 1:27-31, in the Sacred Bible.
“And God both raised up the Lord Jesus and will also raise us up by His power.”—1 Corinthians 6:14.
“Behold, I am coming as a thief, unexpected. Blessed is the one who watches, and keeps one’s garments undefiled and sacred, lest someone walk exposed, naked, and others see shame.” —Holy Spirit through the disciple John from Revelation 16:15, the Holy Bible.
In the days of Jesus there was an environment of ancient rulers and leaders who tried cleverly to make God’s written Word less influentially important by emphasizing greater authority to their contrary extra man-made “religious” and “secular” traditions. Matthew 15:6. Today in that same kind of environment the least of the disciples from God through Jesus Christ has again arisen. And, Christ is in them.
PERSONAL MINISTRY
We continue Holy Scripture discipleship studies as Christ taught his disciples and later dispatched or apostolicized them, part of what is called the Way. See for example, John 14:6; Acts 18:24-26, 24:14.
We rely heavily on our deacons, apostles, and elder apostolic Overseers serving as Pastors. If no Church minister from us is near you then we will try to assist you to develop individually and corporately (collectively).
MEMBERSHIP INVITATION
Almighty God, through His Son Jesus Christ, has by His Word through Holy Scripture commissioned us from His love to invite you to join us. In the Holy Spirit of His love, we welcome you to join us in overcoming challenges and enjoying a successful joyful abundant life.
You are welcome to unite with us praying thank you to God our Creator, as for life, to unite with us worshiping (loving and honoring) God, uniting with God by His Holy Spirit, in praise, in holy festivities, holy fellowships, Holy Scripture studies, global discipleship, and so much more!
God invites you through us. He has done this by way of His Son’s teachings and directions. See for example Matthew 28:18-20.
According to The World Almanac and Book of Facts 2016, the number of Christians around the world is approaching two and a half billion : 2, 389, 939, 000. Christianity has been the largest and fastest growing religion on the planet. I assure you, God is attentive to our prayers.
We accept you as a member individually, or with others collectively as a church.
General membership begins by you realizing you have some faith in God, believing God’s Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit Word(s) from God in physical forms such as the Holy Bible.
Contact us about deeper and more detailed membership with gifts and services from your deeper relationship with God by His Holy Spirit and New Covenant.
Churches in the world are like people, some are more Spiritually developed than others. People and churches all vary by degrees of Spiritual growth and understanding. As members, whether a person or church, we accept you where you are, as you are, and we strive to serve you, to serve also your and our growth as a family, together.
This is supported by God’s Holy Spirit in early disciples named Aquila and Priscilla, who hosted our beginnings of the Christian Church of God from Jerusalem in their house. 1 Corinthians 16:19; 1 Thessalonians 2:14. They met a Jew named Apollos who was an “eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures” and spoke “boldly” in the synagogue (Jews' assembly, similar to a church). They “took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.” Acts 18:24-26. This we continue to do today, not just for Jews but all who accept God’s invitation to eternal salvation with Him through His Son Jesus Christ.
“And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembly of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but CALLING NEAR (inviting with imploration, as for aide, to assemble) one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.'” Hebrews 10:24-25.
Come, join, and see God’s wisdom, love, deliverance, power, and experience His imparted Holy Spirit discernment, wisdom, love, deliverance, joy, success, and more!
Enter more deeply into His and your Church, your Holy Spirit inherited Heavenly Kingdom surrounding His earth, and more!
You are welcome and happily invited by Him working though us!
Our arms are wide open from love from Almighty God, receiving you immediately with warmth, joy, and understanding.
If things or times are challenging for you, He enables us to understand and we will be troubled too by what troubles you, as family. We are enabled and willing to absorb your difficulties, yet with answers from God for better outcomes. So share your troubles with us, and pray to God your Creator with faith until we get back with you.
Great things are coming from God!
Let us keep in touch, walking with God and sharing our challenging and wonderful experiences together.
Meanwhile, may He bless you continuously and forever, let’s pray for this together!
HOW YOU CAN HELP
CHARITY & VOLUNTEERS
We serve underprivileged and physically disabled souls, so any donation will be enormously appreciated.
If you are a potential donor, we accept any donation, not just money but importantly your skills, time, products, or services.
If you would like to volunteer as a librarian, typist, secretary, treasurer, computer/media assistant, contact representative/supporter/comforter, or by other practical gifts, contact us.
VOLUNTEERS
VOLUNTEERS/INTERNS/INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS:
We are always accepting volunteers to help a little in every place to lighten the load.
Some members donate money, others tithe by their time, skills, and/or occupational resources. If you can donate some time, skills, or occupational resources, below are area examples. You accept as much or little as you can handle easily. Any volunteering or hiring is initially as an apprentice, part-time, by the hour, and at your own pace.
MEDIA ASSISTANT: Help us with observing and managing Internet interactions, to provide excellent membership and visitor services, email replies, searches, updates, and the like. We try to make this easy, such as refering all questions of finance and CCGJ-GCC teachings or unknown Biblical questions to upper level coumcil providers.
APOSTOLIC AND EVANGELIC CORRESPONDENCE: Help us keep in contact with disciples who must use Postal Service by US mail. Encourage, inspire, coach.
Or help process grades and issue congratulations, awards, maintain and secure student files as they slowly accumulate coursework over the year(s).
ARCHIVE CURATOR: Provide additional and reliable small library and records space.
SECRETARY: Provide general assistance, such as website searches, phone calls made and received, with recorded messages, and U.S. postal mail forwarding.
TREASURER: Provide part time treasury responsibilities, low volume cash flow, for occassional transfers, purchasing and directing items to destinations such as books, or keeping record of deposits and expenses.
Or full time treasury responsibilities, high volume cash flow, for daily purchasing and directing items to destinations, and keeping record of deposits and expenses.
Must submit history of responsible occupations, references, and pass a background check.
GUARDIANS: If God has given you His Holy Spirit creating in you a desire to defend the flock, as the Good Shepherd in our coming Messiah, or King David as against Goliath (John 10:11-13 1 Samuel 17:34-36, 50-51), please contact us to join and contribute as you wish in His will. This contributes to our defense with guardians globally by your skills, gifts, and/or position, such as police, military, or intelligence services. Romans 13:1-9 Luke 22:35-38 Revelation 19:11. See also the publication Voice of the Martyres.
Not all disciples are called to present martyrdom. Compare the calling of apostle Peter in John 21:18-22 and apostle Paul’s clarity on his calling and long-term mission, in Philippians 1:19-30 1 Corinthians 1:17 Acts 24:25.
Our defenses are varied, mostly covert for minimal disturbance and to avoid collateral offense (e.g Acts 12:5-11) and some overtly disciplinary for example (1 Corinthians 5:1-5, 9:24-27).
Our defenses is not merely last resort physical defenses, but also primarily focused on relationships built on love from God’s commandments and guidence for discipline, repentance, also educational, cultural, technological, and sometimes political. Most weaponry defenses are not reported as we do not wish for disciples to seek, look to, or rely on man instead of God for their primary reliance and deliverance. In many cases God resolves matters before we get involved aggressively defensively to neutralize evil building against or attacking the flock.
Our defense teams will aim to analyze cause of tensions and seek to diffuse matters by all means before decisive action. To enemies who arise against us, we warn fairly, but we take action in amassed ways to defend by multiple angles and means, we are multidimensional in our approach. And though we may have at times historically appeared defeated or victorious, we by God’s will, eternally, never lose: “as dying, and behold we live” —-2 Corinthians 6:3-10.
Volunteers/contractors here for defenses are preferred with some occupational history in military, paramilitary, National Guard, police force, or the like.
MINISTERS: Help as a minister, such as deacon, evangelist, aposte or overseer. We can facilitate your ordination and certify you.
Experienced ministers already ordained from any denomination or background are acceptable who esteem Holy Scripture to be the final and utmost physical authority on defining Christian teachings for ministry. Must be willing to accept our advanced refresher course for latest, most authoritative Bible-based Theology, Ecclesiology, and/or Divinity degrees and CCGJ-GCC certification. Must be striving to love God and others according to Christ’s first commandments. Matthew 22:37-40. Must accept gradient discipline for any continual Biblical offences to God or others. Matthew 18:15; 1 Corinthians 5:1-8 Matthew 5:22.
Let us know your strengths, ideas, or other means by which you could help. May God bless you.
INDIVIDAL RISK ASSESMENTS
Some people risk their own lives to their fatal peril and family peril, a loss to community and country, saving neither themselves nor the victims of initial emergency and that is not Christ like.
In such examples we do not encourage self-sacrifice, even if it means loss of life to initial bad-decision makers of the emergency. We count those who wisely did not self-sacrifice fatally to compounded tragedy a decision-making hero to their family, community, and country.
Self-preservation supports and thereby saves lives too in further future considerations, just as equally if not in some case more importantly to everyone involved, than some fatal self-sacrifice.
We do not exalt, encourage, nor glorify self-sacrificing to help others, as this may encourage unnecessary risks for purpose and ideals and values of heroism---a self-exalting idolatry drive---which can be egotistically dangerous to others involved in an emergency recovery operation requiring cooperation and dependability for success.
Even if it saves a life, if it puts too many others in too grave a danger, it remains a foolish decision which only God has miraculously compensated to the untrained eye in the chain of events.
Each CCGJGCC member must evaluate the extent of risk they want to enter to help others, and this we allow by embracing ICS training.
We have all made bad decisions. If someone or others come along risking their life to save us from our otherwise fatal decision, we have God and His cooperative hero to thank.
Non-egotistical effective salvation we do encourage, praise, honor, and promote it to life-giving Divine intervention
INTEGRATION TO CHURCH STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION
CCGJGCC structure and organization is not changed by Incident Command System (ICS) integration, although ICS functions might be assigned to CCGJGCC members, especially during a physical crisis or emergency.
The ICS structure or organization duties or functions can be assigned to our CCGJGCC church members
Some, like an office/officer duty for safety, can be assigned to a council Overseer; or separate office/officer duty for planning to a separate council Overseer; or operations to a deacon, logistics to a council Overeer, public information officer to a separate deacon, and finance to a coucil Overseer treasurer.
Others (in ICS diagram) temporally assigned for different temporal crisis conditions, like Incident Commander (first on the scene, or submitting to existing Incident Commander such as a fire fighter) or Liason (designated by Incident Commander), thereby taking on the ICS as a computer takes on an app for a specific temporal special (outside ususal) operation.
These videos can help you better understand and begin to implement the ICS.

RISK VALUES
One of CCGJGCC goals is to establish, raise, and defend family (and society comprised of families) and its intellectual capital by Biblical integrity to the glory of God through Christ, while helping others.
Helping others can involve some risks. Unnecessary risks we try to minimize for the leadership preservation, safety, and health of everyone involved.
Therefore, CCGJGCC does not accept secular government funding, cartel funding, or any other funding which tends to trade off for that funding CCGJGCC integrity and principles of strength.
Examples include accepting money as a bribe to make acceptable in lifestyle sexual perversion as homosexuality, intellectual perversion as unhealthy drug or alcohol addictions, or illegal activities, including illegal trading according to the Bible or host country laws.
We value small scale powerful integrity and ingenuity over large scale decay and corruption. We would rather raise an integral family on a humble hard working job before building a church or mass assembly on funds to persuade us otherwise just because it is easier funds which enable us to expand bigger but expand to bigger famous corruption collapse.
Having this in mind, we do want to help community or country in time of emergency and crisis. While this may require sacrifice of human and material resources it does not require sacrifice of Biblical morals. We aim to be the Biblical moral compass of an emergency and crisis.
We try to minimize the spread of bad decision-making people creating decaying, crumbling, collapsing holes which swallow and destroy fellow good-decision-making minds and valuable resources senselessly.
We avoid self-sacrifice for less valuable outcomes to leadership, its family, and thereby community, society, and country. Sometimes we cannot get involved with lessons from bad decisions.
This is in the context of emergency response and hard decisions between limited resources and options in a rescue mission, for example. As a fire truck driver trying to decide on one tank of limited gas to save actors at an entertainment building on fire or doctors at a hospital on fire. Not in the context of reaching people for salvation.
Sometimes we cannot get involved with lessons from bad decisions. This is because sometimes the damaging lesson without interference or hinderance provides greater value to others who will observe and learn. Especially regarding the self-caused-victim (versus other[s]-cause[s]-victim) and volunteer (salvational decision maker's) risk-reduction wisdom for the greater (quality and/or quantity) good and services delivered.
Quality here equates to expense for extensive education and utility of the educated person(s) to society---e.g. the longer, complex education required and high or strong value utility of that individual(s) to society benefits---versus the shorter, simple educated and lower or weaker value of an individual to society and thereby easily replaceable if lost to self-damages. Quantity means the number of people involved.
So generally high school, seminary, college or university young graduates in legitimate workforce can be considered more valuable to society benefits---more worthy of risk--- than an older adult, unemployed, middle school drop-out, who is also an irresponsible addict or group of similar individuals.
Likewise, although entertainers and entertainment may make more money than a single community doctor or hospitals, the value to society is greater to prioritize doctors over actors if a decision of limited resources and risk presented itself between the two.
Likewise, the religious reinforce important integrity, education, and resiliance values for building society success, prosperity, wellness or health, and is priority over the integrity-erosion entertainment sectors (not to be included to or confused with the practical educational sectors). Moreover, working families to rebuild after disaster is more important than non-reproductive homosexuals.
PHYSICAL CRISIS OPERATIONS
COLLECTIVE COORDINATED EMERGENCY HELP
What is the Incident Command System
The Incident Command System is a way to organize people and resources to help, amend, or reform an emergency crisis or aftermath. It offers and uses basic stable and stablizing leadership structure and organization methods to apply to sometimes changing unstable emergency conditions and developments.
According to the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency, "The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized approach to incident management that:
• Is used for all kinds of incidents by all types of organizations and at all levels of government; ICS is applicable to small incidents as well as large and complex ones.
• Can be used not only for emergencies, but also for planned events.
• Enables a coordinated response among various jurisdictions and agencies.
• Establishes common processes for incident-level planning and resource management.
• Allows for the integration of resources (such as facilities, equipment, personnel) within a common organizational structure.
SOURCE: --IS-0100.c: An Introduction to the Incident Command System, ICS 100, Student Manual, Date Released: 11/2018.
"The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized approach to the command, control, and coordination of emergency response providing a common hierarchy within which responders from multiple agencies can be effective."
SOURCE: --"Glossary: Simplified Guide to the Incident Command System for Transportation Professionals". Federal Highway Administration, Office of Operations. Retrieved 24 October 2018.
When this intended resiliant social structure and organization system is applied to emergency conditions sometimes it is slightly and temporarily modified as it modifies the emergency conditions.
Why and how?
Emergency conditions differ, each demand a different set of often limited resources (including people, skills, supplies) to permit rescue, rebound, or recovery benefits.
The system must be understood then as a firm, though sometimes temporarily flexible (improvisable, changeable), but especially resilient (always struggling to maintain intended or ideal structure and organization when people and resources available for it, thus stable and stablizing) social structure and organization.
You might find this similar to church building, building people and housing amid spiritual crisis. Indeed, Church daily mission from the Bible is to do the same rescue and recovery outcome on spiritual dimensions, but also sometimes physical too.
