Dear Visitor and Friends,

We are friendly folks. We worship and work together right here in your community. We're just average people, trying to raise our families, pay our debts, and be good Christians. We like to have new faces in our congregation and we like to see those new faces come back again and again. Our church doors are always open to you.

Well, as a Church, Just Who Are We? The name on the sign out front labels our place of worship as a" Church of God." Now that may just add to your confusion because there are a lot of church buildings around with all kinds of names. There are reasons for these names.

So what is the reason for our use of the name “Church of God?” We go by this name because we find that the term often applies to the early church in the New Testament. We like to get as close as we can to those early days and the teachings of Christ.

The words "Church of God" have other meaning for us. The term can apply to all Christians who have given their lives to Christ. By using that name, we want to identify ourselves with all born-again Christians. No matter what barriers may be raised by others, we use the name because we want to witness that we are a part of the church which Christ founded.

Well, What Do We Stand For? As you have already read, one thing we think is very important is the unity of all God’s children in the church where Jesus Christ established his ministry long ago. We try to put that belief into practice in various ways. One way is by recognizing every person who shows that he or she has a real Christian experience as an actual member of our group. Thus, we have no formal church membership pledge or doctrine. You become a member of the Body of Christ by accepting His salvation. We simply try to live by the Bible and the guidance of God and back our actions with the love of Christ.

Blessings,

Rev. Dr. Michael D. Curry
