Cogic, stands for Church of God in Christ. It is the largest pentecostal denomination, holding over 6.5 million members.
The forms of worship between the Apostolic and COGIC are similar. The Apostolics believe in baptism in the name of Jesus only (not Father, Son, Holy Ghost like COGIC), and believe the evidence of infilling of the Holy Ghost is only by speaking in tongues (different than COGIC).

In addition to being located in every state in the Union, COGIC churches are found in more than 57 countries around the world. Each jurisdiction is under the direct administration of a bishop.

Well, honey, the Church of God in Christ (COGIC) split from the Assemblies of God (AG) church back in 1914 because of some good ol' theological differences. COGIC wanted to focus more on holiness and sanctification, while AG was more into that speaking in tongues business. So, they went their separate ways and the rest is history.
