FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q. Who are you associated with?
A. We are associated with The
Churches of God General Conference, originally headquartered in Harrisburg,
PA and now in headquartered in Findlay, OH.
The first problem is that there are at least twelve groups
in the United States that call themselves Church or Churches of God. There are a few around
the area, but that leads us to the second problem. Our style is completely
different from most churches, including those we are associated with.
So if you have been to a Church of God, it doesn't mean you have seen how
we do church.
Our doctrine is Wesleyan, which is
similar to Methodist, General Baptist, and Nazarene doctrine. But
we also think that God is bigger than doctrine. We don't think we
have a corner on the doctrine market.
Q. So why associate with the Churches
of God?
A. This is a great question.
Most people today could care less about denominations. And to be
honest, most denominations are dying institutions. The Churches of
God is not dying. They are one of the very few denominations that
are actually growing. They have dynamic leadership. They offer
ways to participate in youth camps, missions, training, a seminary,
and spiritual growth. They have funded our church plant and have
asked for nothing in return.
Q. Why doesn't your church look like a church?
A. We believe the people are the church, not the building, and we
wanted a facility that we could use for different purposes. |
