Who We Are

  • OUR CHURCH

CGMI Joy & Harvest Center, Houston Texas began as a small bible study fellowship in late 2015 that grew up to become a church. We are a member church of a foremost global Pentecostal mission – The Church of God Mission Int’l with HQ in Benin City Nigeria (Founded by Archbishops Benson & Margaret Idahosa).

At CGMI Joy & Harvest Houston Texas, you will experience genuine love and fellowship, you will be taught and inspired to grow, and be equipped to win. You will discover divine purpose and begin to fulfil your God given ministry in the body of Christ because we encourage the expression of every believer’s ministry once it is discovered. You will also become a soulwinner, an effective witness for Christ. All this to the honor and adoration of our Lord God Almighty.

Archbishop Benson A. Idahosa

  • OUR MESSAGE
  • Hope, restoration, reconciliation and successfully discovering and fulfilling the plans and purposes of God for your life forms the bedrock of our message. We say it at every given opportunity, and on every platform available that Jesus came to save, heal and reconcile the lost, the broken, the oppressed, and the sick. We believe in the HOPE offered by God through Jesus and we present this hope through the message of the gospel or the good news. That no matter how far gone you are, God is willing to give you a new life and restoration. “…If your sins are blood-red, they’ll be snow-white. If they’re red like crimson, they’ll be like wool.” (Isaiah 1:18).
  • We preach forgiveness, salvation, peace for the troubled, and minister healing to the sick.
  • Our message emphasizes that Christ came to restore eternal life, peace, health, abundance, dignity and self-worth back to man.
  • We joyfully reach out through MISSIONS to people in our community, to connect them in FELLOWSHIP with other Christians, to help them grow in their faith through DISCIPLESHIP, and to inspire them as they are growing to discover their MINISTRY, equip them to fulfil it, and honor God with their life through WORSHIP.
