About Us

We are part of the Church of God Reformation Movement that has existed for over 100 years in North America. We have a common goal of all Church of God people: to live a holy and righteous life to the glory of God.

Why the name Church of God?

Church of God is our name. Some may ask why we call ourselves Church of God when Christianity already is divided into many groups with many names. Why the name Church of God? Because it is the name given to God’s Church in the New Testament. (Acts 20:28; 1 Corinthians 1:2; 1 Corinthians 15:9).

The name Church of God is all-inclusive, of every child of God, that is truly saved and born again. By having this name we state that we feel one with all the blood-washed. By using this name, we honor our founder and keeper of this church (Matt. 16,18).

The unity of the saints of this one church is very important to us. Every true child of God is a member of this church; we have no formal church membership.

We place great value upon the Bible as the only answer to the questions of faith. It is our statement of faith.

We try to fulfill Scripture in all things; for this, we depend not on our own strength but upon the power and leading of the Holy Spirit.

We invite you to worship with us!

One thought on “About Us

  1. Hello there. I just watched a video you posted on YouTube called the sacredness of marriage. I enjoyed it very much. I have a real passion for marriage related topics and feel also that divorce and remarriage is wrong. I found an article that you may find helpful. I was very excited to run across this as I have 2 sister’s that are divorced and are trying to convince me that God would want them to be happy so it’s ok for them to get remarried. Anyway here is a link to this article. I hope it blesses you as it did me. http://ecclesia.org/truth/divorce.html. God bless your ministry.
