ALL ABOUT GRACE

   Hang around our church very long and you will discover that we're committed to the Gospel, the Good News. Our church is not about telling people the bad news - most folk already know enough bad news to last a lifetime. What Jesus came to establish, what the Apostles spent their lives proclaiming, was the Good News. Our preaching, teaching, singing - everything we do - is immersed in this one simple statement:

That “God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not counting men's sins against them." -2 Cor. 5:19.

THREE STREAMS

   The Church of God has three different streams, and we are committed to brining those streams together into one mighty river.

1. ❖ Bible-Believing: We are committed to the Bible and recognize it to be the living Word of God. Through it he speaks to us, comforts us, and instructs us. Whether through the Scripture readings, the sermons, teachings, or Bible classes, you will find our church saturated with the Word of God. It is the light that guides our way.
   

1. ❖ Spirit-Filled: We expect God to act powerfully when we gather together to worship him. We sing with songs of praise and raise our hands in joy; we also sing the old, deep hymns that cause us to bow our heads and hearts in reverence. We believe in miracles. We believe God heals the body, soul, and spirit. We pray for the sick and other needs. We wait on the Lord and often hear a word of direction or encouragement from Him, spoken through one of his people.
   

1. ❖ Sacramental: We believe that God uses the mysteries or sacraments to minister grace to his people. Every Sunday we confess our sins to God, we hear the words of His forgiveness, and we come to the altar of God where we are fed with the Bread and Wine of Communion, the Body and Blood of Christ. Our worship is not only joyous and free, but also orderly and structured, following the pattern of Christian worship as old as the Apostles. The words we use to worship with are not new; they are as old as the Bible itself - sometimes even older! And yet they become fresh and alive as God's people proclaim them, not only with their lips, but with their hearts.
