We have only one life. It is precious and valuable. God made you in his own image. Start today, it doesn’t matter what has happened in the past. |
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.
- In the verbal inspiration 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 ascended 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 repentance 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 gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Ghost.
- In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of 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 premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
- In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.

Why do we lift our hands? …It’s Biblical “Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven.” Lamentations 3:41 “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the LORD.” Psalms 134:2 “I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.” Psalm 63:4 “I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer.” 1 Timothy 2:8
Why is the Bible so important? “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Jesus said, “The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life” John 6:63 “…Jesus said, If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32
Why do we clap our hands and have audible praise to God? “Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.” Psalms 47:1 “Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music.” Psalms 98:4 “Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy.” Psalms 126:2
Why do we sing? The answer is simply…We LOVE to worship God! We put so much time and energy into the worship portion of our services because worship is loving God, connecting with God, and giving God thanks for who He is and what He has done for us. Singing is our vehicle to worship God and bring honor to Him. “Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.” Psalms 100:2 God created music for us so that we would praise Him. “How good it is to sing praises to our God.” Psalm 147:1
