The Church of God believes the whole Bible to be completely and equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God. The Church of God has adopted the following Declaration of Faith as its standard and official expression of its doctrine.

We Believe:

• In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
• In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
• That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.

The following Doctrinal Commitments represent the core beliefs of the denomination as outlined in Scripture.

• Repentance. Mark 1:15; Luke 13:3; Acts 3:19.
• Justification. Romans 5:1; Titus 3:7.
• Regeneration. Titus 3:5.
• New birth. John 3:3; 1 Peter 1:23; 1 John 3:9.
• Sanctification subsequent to justification. Romans 5:2; 1 Corinthians 1:30; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Hebrews 13:12.
• Holiness. Luke 1:75; 1 Thessalonians 4:7; Hebrews 12:14.
• Water baptism. Matthew 28:19; Mark 1:9, 10; John 3:22, 23; Acts 8:36, 38.
• Baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to cleansing; the enduement of power for service. Matthew 3:11; Luke 24:49, 53; Acts 1:4-8.
