Our Faith, Our Foundation
Rooted in Scripture - Guided by the Holy Ghost

The Church of God believes the whole Bible to be completely and equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God. The Church of God has adopted the following Declaration of Faith as its standard and official expression of its doctrine. We believe:

  • In the verbal inspriation of the Bible
  • In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
  • That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried and raised from the dead.  That he asended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the intercessor.
  • That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentence is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
  • That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
  • In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
  • Holiness to be God's standard of living for His people.
  • In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
  • In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit give uttereance and that it is the intial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
  • In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
  • Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.
  • In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet.
  • In the premillenial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to meet Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
  • In the bodildy resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
