This collection includes items produced by and applying to ministries and churches within the Church of God denomination sponsored at the state or local levels, rather than a general church department. Series are assigned by region or state, then specified to city and ministry levels. Cross-regional ministries, with Church of God backing, but not sponsored by the International Offices, may be given their own series.
