The Church of God, with
international headquarters in Cleveland, Tennessee,
traces its roots to 1886 in a meeting house located
at Barney Creek in the mountains of eastern
Tennessee. The Christian Union was organized with
eight members. Since that inauspicious start, the
Church of God has become an international church
with a membership approaching 4 million. The Church
of God is a grassroots organization with an appeal
to and a concern for the common man and his needs." |

The
mission of the Church of God is to perpetuate the
full gospel of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19,20), in
the Spirit and power of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4, 6,
13-18), through specific attention to and emphasis
upon the centrality of God's Word, world
evangelization, ministerial development, Christian
discipleship, lay ministry, biblical stewardship,
church growth, church planting, family enrichment,
and servant leadership. |
