GRI operates four Branch Offices in partnership with the respective Church Divisions. Connection with the World Divisions is also facilitated by the Geoscience Research Institute Committee (GRICOM), a group that meets once a year and includes GRI staff members, Branch Office Directors, church leaders, and representative scholars in the area of science and origins nominated by each Division to help promote the purpose and function of GRI. For more information, please contact the Branch Office Director for your area.
