What We BelieveThe Church of God does not have a written creed that defines our beliefs. But that does not mean that we do not believe in correct doctrine. On the contrary, purity of doctrine, based on the truth of Scripture, has always held paramount importance in the life of the church. While we do not try to compartmentalize what we believe, there are some basic statements regarding the faith we possess. These statements simply form the foundation of what we believe.
