What We Believe

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.

  • About the Bible

    In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.

  • About God

    In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

  • About Jesus

    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 ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.

  • About Sin

    That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.

  • About Salvation

    That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.

  • About Sanctification

    In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.

  • About the Holy Spirit

    In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.

  • About Speaking in Tongues

    In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

  • About Baptism

    Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement.

  • About The Lord's Supper

    In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the saints’ feet.
