Basic Beliefs of First Church of God

Through the avenues of preaching, teaching, and singing the Church of God has consistently affirmed that the written source of what we believe is the Bible. We have attempted to remain Biblically-based without becoming creedal. The Bible is central in our teaching ministry.

What are some of the key doctrines that we proclaim?

We believe in one God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible – Genesis 1.

We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made – John 1:1-14.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified – John 16:5-16.

We believe that all scripture in inspired by God and is the authority for the Christian life – II Timothy 3:14-17.

We believe in conversion which is the renewal of life at its deepest level through repentance and trust in the forgiveness of Christ – Acts 2:36-39.
