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. Our community has adopted the following Declaration of Faith as its standard and official expression of its doctrine.
We believe that God fully inspired the Bible and that it is His written Word, guiding our faith and life.
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in Jesus Christ, the only Son of God—conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, crucified, buried, raised from the dead, and ascended into heaven. He now sits at the right hand of the Father and intercedes for us.
We believe that all people have sinned and fall short of God’s glory, and that repentance is necessary for forgiveness of sins.
We believe that salvation, new birth, and justification come through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
We believe in sanctification, a life set apart for God, through faith in Christ, the Word of God, and the work of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that holiness is God’s standard for His people.
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, following salvation. We believe that speaking in tongues, as the Spirit gives utterance, is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
We believe in water baptism by immersion for all who repent, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that divine healing is provided through Christ’s atoning work.
We believe in observing the Lord’s Supper and the washing of the saints’ feet.
We believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ—first to raise the righteous and gather believers to Himself, and later to reign on the earth for a thousand years.
We believe in the resurrection of the body, eternal life for the righteous, and eternal separation from God for the wicked.
