Worldwide Church of God
Mission
“Living and Sharing the Gospel”
The Worldwide Church of God is committed to living and sharing the
good news of what God has done through Jesus Christ.
The church
seeks to fulfill this mission by:
-
Building healthy, Christ-centered congregations
that are
sanctuaries of worship, friendship, and nurturing pastoral care.
-
Providing sound biblical teaching
through congregations, media, and personal outreach in relevant,
meaningful forms for people of diverse backgrounds and ages.
-
Expressing the love of God
to all through the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
-
Equipping people for Christian service
so that the gospel can be known, understood, and experienced.
-
Sharing in the work of the gospel with the broader Christian
community,
acknowledging that we can
learn from one another and that Christ’s love goes beyond
denominational boundaries.
Summary of Our Christian
Faith
We believe:
-
In one holy, loving, all-powerful, and gracious Creator God who exists
in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
That the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, fully
authoritative for all matters of faith and practice.
-
That Jesus Christ, born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully human,
is both Lord and Savior.
-
That Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross for human sin, that
he was raised bodily on the third day, and that he ascended to heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father.
-
That Jesus Christ will come again to judge the living and the dead and
to reign over all things.
-
In the Holy Spirit, who brings sinners to repentance, who gives
eternal life to believers, and who lives in them to conform them to
the image of Jesus Christ.
-
That Christians should gather in regular fellowship and live lives of
faith that make evident the good news that humans enter the kingdom of
God by putting their trust in Jesus Christ.
-
In the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
That salvation comes not by works, but only by God’s grace through
faith in Jesus Christ.
-
In the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come
